The Toyota STEM Scholarship is a highly competitive scholarship program designed to support undergraduate students who are pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM). Funded by Toyota in partnership with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), this scholarship reflects Toyota’s long-standing commitment to innovation, education, and building a diverse pipeline of future leaders in technical and scientific fields. The program is specifically focused on helping talented students overcome financial barriers while encouraging academic excellence, leadership development, and meaningful community engagement.
