Meet Our Bison STEM Scholars

Updated, January 23: The Bison STEM Scholar Program has been renamed the Karsh STEM Scholar Program (KSSP). The KSSP is funded by a generous donation from Martha and Bruce Karsh. Read more. . . .

Howard University’s Bison STEM Scholar Program (BSSP) is its most challenging program yet. If you are not familiar with BSSP, here is a quick breakdown:

The BSSP is a program intended to attract high-achieving and community-service oriented high school students into various STEM disciplines. These students must maintain a minimum required GPA, along with a rigorous academic plan towards obtaining a Ph.D. or medical degree, and demonstrate excellent leadership and team-working skills with the discipline to motivate themselves and others. They must also have research interests which they actively develop throughout their tenure at Howard University.
