Transamerica STEM Annual Scholarship

Purpose
Recognized as a leading provider of life insurance, savings, investment and retirement solutions, Transamerica’s mission includes helping people live well today and worry less about tomorrow. To help accomplish that, Transamerica relies on its workforce as one of its most important assets – employees who use their skills, ideas and experience to make a positive impact in the lives of its customers.
Transamerica also recognizes the value of investing in its future by supporting students who are pursuing degrees in a business related field – whether it be economics, accounting, marketing or another financial services discipline.
The Fund shall provide scholarships to University students who have declared certain majors within the field(s) of STEM and Business. They are meant especially for students who lack the financial means to pay for a four-year institution of higher education and who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend the University.

Criteria
• Be meeting MSU Denver’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements and cannot be in default or owe any refund/repayment of federal, state or institutional aid
• Have financial need per the MSU Denver Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships as determined by the completion of a FAFSA/CASFA application for ASSET students.
• Be a senior or junior
• Take 12 or more credit hours during the semester(s) the scholarship is received
• Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater.

Preference will be given to students with a declared major in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Health Care Information Systems, Computer Information Systems, or Electrical Engineering Technology. Preference will be given to students who are available to participate in internship opportunities with Transamerica.
