The National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals is accepting applications through June 6 for its 2020 Out To Innovate Scholarships. The scholarships are made possible thanks to an Innovation Generation grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation and private donations.
The scholarships are for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) programs who are either lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or an active ally of the LGBTQ community.

- Maintenance of a minimum grade point average of 3.0 for the entirety of college or university enrollment.
- A declared major in an accredited STEM or STEM-related teaching field.
