Interdisciplinary Science Scholarship (full tuition)

A grant from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funds the Interdisciplinary Science Scholarship, providing full-tuition scholarships for 10 to 13 entering freshmen every year. Designed for students interested in pursuing both a science and non-science double or dual major while at CMC, students will be asked to explore the idea of science leadership via a dual or double major such as government-biology, international relations-physics, chemistry-Spanish or one of a host of other possible combinations available within CMC’s exhaustive curriculum.

Specifically, the scholarship awards will be focused on outstanding students from lower-income households. ISS Scholars will be selected based on financial need, academic excellence, leadership potential, and passion for science. They will be required to graduate with a dual or double major in a science and non-science discipline.

Students who wish to be considered for the ISS scholarship should apply to CMC by submitting both the Common Application  and the CMC Supplement to the Common Application. Students should be sure to indicate intended majors in both a science and non-science discipline. In addition, students should fill out the FAFSA and College Scholarship Service PROFILE.
