Application Information

The goal of the Scots Science Scholars program is to increase the number of students completing a major in STEM at Maryville College. Selected students attend a two-week summer experience in August prior to the beginning of the academic year. Students live on campus and should have no other responsibilities during that time. Participants are also strongly encouraged to live on campus throughout the academic year. Scots Science Scholars are expected to participate in our academic support programming 6 hours per week during the academic year and to attend STEM enrichments events (expert lectures or field trips) each semester.

S3 invites applicants who are seriously considering one or more of the following majors:

  • Biochemistry (including pre-professional)
  • Biology (including pre-professional and teacher licensure)
  • Bio-pharmaceutical science
  • Business Analytics
  • Chemistry (including teacher licensure)
  • Computer Science
  • Engineering (Dual degree program)
  • Mathematics (including teacher licensure)
