GeneTex, a life-science company that makes antibodies and research reagents, runs a small but genuine scholarship for STEM students. It is open worldwide, the application is short, and one award goes out each semester, which means two chances a year.<\/p>\n

\n
Quick answer<\/div>\n
The GeneTex scholarship program awards $2,000 to one STEM undergraduate or graduate student each semester. You need to be enrolled and in good standing at an accredited college, declare a STEM major, and submit a short personal statement plus a transcript. International students are eligible. Deadlines fall around July and December each year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Core eligibility and award details<\/h2>\n

The award is a flat $2,000 paid directly to the recipient’s university, which then disburses it to the student. One winner is selected per semester, so the program funds two students per year. It is not renewable, but previous applicants who did not win may reapply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

GeneTex was founded in 1997 in San Antonio by scientists working in oncology and infectious disease, and it frames the award as an investment in future researchers. The STEM definition it uses, drawn from the National Science Foundation, is broad and covers life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, computer science, and mathematics, so more majors qualify than students assume. Funds are paid to your university, which then distributes them to you.<\/p>\n

Deadlines and timeline<\/h2>\n

GeneTex runs two cycles a year, with deadlines that historically land around mid July and mid December. Because the exact date shifts slightly each cycle, confirm the current deadline on the official scholarship page before you submit. Winners are usually contacted one to two weeks after the deadline and announced on the GeneTex site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
