PORTLAND — The University of Southern Maine has named its 2012-13 recipients of the National Science Foundation STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Scholarships.
The scholarships are made possible thanks to $592,000 in support from the National Science Foundation and additional funding from USM. This year, 19 incoming freshmen students and transfers from Maine Community Colleges who have met academic and financial criteria have been awarded up to $5,000 in scholarship funds.
Scholarships will be made available for all four years at USM, provided students make satisfactory academic progress. Transfer student scholarships are for three years.
Aaron L. Vail, son of Lisa Chirnitch of Durham and Corey Vail of Clinton, graduated from Pine Tree Academy in Freeport in 2009. Vail transferred from SMCC to USM and is now majoring in technology management.
Corey Bryant, a 2001 graduate from Edward Little High School in Auburn, transferred this past fall to USM’s environmental science program. He previously attended the University of Tampa in Florida.
