About
Through the generosity of the National Science Foundation (NSF), McMurry University received funds to support students with financial need who wish to study in natural science disciplines. Recipients must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 while majoring in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering Physics, Computer Science or Mathematics.
Qualified students may earn an NSF S-STEM merit scholarship covering their full tuition per academic year (renewable up to four years).
