The Marie Curie Scholarship is offered thanks to generous support of the National Science Foundation and the College of Saint Mary.
The Marie Curie Scholarship provides support to young women who want to major in Biology, Chemistry or Mathematics and they will be able to receive up to $20,000 toward their education.
The Marie Curie Scholarship committee has decided that not everyone can apply for this award and set some eligibility requirements that each applicant has to meet so as to be accepted as a possible winner.
The applicant has to have a high school GPA of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale and an ACT composite score of 23 or higher, or a SAT (ERW+M) score of 1140 or higher if he/she has less than 12 credit hours of college coursework, while those who have 12 credit hours or more of college coursework must have a college cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher with a cumulative GPA in science and math of 3.0 or higher.
Then, they need to apply and be accepted to the College of Saint Mary by the Marie Curie application deadline and major in biology, chemistry or mathematics.
If you meet these criteria, you are highly encouraged to apply for the award.
The most important thing for those interested in applying is the application timeline.
