The Future of STEM Scholars Initiative (FOSSI) officially opened its 2026 scholarship application period at the annual HBCU Week Foundation College Fair in Wilmington, Delaware. This marks the sixth consecutive year that FOSSI has launched its application at this impactful event, which brings together thousands of students, educators, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) representatives.
The program aims to increase the talent pool for chemical companies by energizing students about education and career opportunities in fields such as chemical and mechanical engineering. It also connects scholarship recipients with over 80 corporations to provide real-world access to internships and information on potential careers in the chemical and affiliated industries.
