One Endowment.
Endless Opportunities.
Support STEM Scholarships.

HMCSE students need your support. Thanks to a generous matching gift from Drs. Muhammad and Fatema Rashid, all gifts made to the STEM scholarship for females and first-generation students by this Fall will be matched up to 50,000 dollars to create a $100K endowment that will benefit STEM students for years to come.

“We believe that supporting STEM scholarships at UWF would aid in fostering future leaders and innovators.” - Dr. Muhammad Rashid

Thank you, in advance for your contribution. Your support is crucial to our efforts of improving diversity in STEM while providing merit and need-based scholarships to first-generation students and underrepresented female STEM majors.

Making an investment in our students is an investment for our future. With your gift, we can reach our goal to be matched fully so more students will benefit from this one endowment.
Donate today so our students can benefit beginning this Fall:
