Galileo Scholars

Galileo Scholars

Scholarships for students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Since 2003, close to 600 students have received more than $1 million in Galileo scholarships. Galileo scholars receive more than financial support. Scholars benefit from career counseling, workshops and special events, and academic advising. Galileo Scholars are highly regarded on campus and in the community as top STEM students.  The scholarships are funded by the RVCC Foundation and a grant from the National Science Foundation.
