We want to encourage this kind of positive economic impact for businesses while increasing female representation. One scholarship of $10,000 will be awarded to a woman or female-identifying junior or senior at any accredited college or university who is pursuing a business-related baccalaureate degree. Candidates must be enrolled full-time and in at least the second year of a business-related undergraduate program when they apply.

ABC Humane Wildlife - Women in STEM Studies Scholarship
At ABC Wildlife, we believe diversity is critical in every scientific field from biology to chemical engineering. While women represent 48% of the American workforce, they make up only 13% of engineering professionals and a mere 7.2% in the field of mechanical engineering. Overall, women are critically underrepresented in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. As a woman-owned corporation operating in a largely male field, we understand the remarkable impact women can have. We want to pave the way for other women pursuing their dreams in the scientific world, which is why ABC Wildlife is introducing a scholarship designed to increase the number of women studying and influencing the future of science, including technology, engineering and math.

While we appreciate their business, we appreciate their sacrifies even more. To thank them, we will be holding an annual $500 scholarship to students studying education. This money can be used to buy supplies for classrooms they might be student teaching in, personal course supplies like textbooks or planners, or their own school supplies.

The importance of teachers cannot be understated. They are responsible for imparting children with knowledge during their most impressionable years.

Certain teachers have profound effects on their students. Teachers who connect with students at a young age have the ability to mold their futures. These children often become valuable additions to our society. At JAM Paper, we want to thank you aspiring teachers for guiding our younger generations by offering a rolling scholarship. This scholarship will be available every semester for the foreseeable future. Please see "Submission Deadlines" below for more details.
