Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship
The Edith Nourse Rogers Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) Scholarship allows some eligible Veterans and dependents in high-demand fields to extend their Post-9/11 GI Bill or Fry Scholarship benefits. Read below to find out if you’re eligible for up to 9 months (or $30,000) of added benefits and how to apply.
Am I eligible for the Rogers STEM Scholarship (GI Bill® extension)?
You must be enrolled, or in the final pre-enrollment stages in CIAT’s BACIS (Applied Bachelor Degree in Computer Information Systems) to apply for the VA STEM Scholarship.
Additionally, all of these must be true. You:
- Are enrolled in a qualifying undergraduate STEM degree program that requires at least 120 standard semester credit hours (or 180 quarter credit hours) to complete, and
- Have completed at least 60 standard credit hours (or 90 quarter credit hours) toward your degree, and
- Have 6 months or less of your Post-9/11 GI Bill (or Fry Scholarship) benefits left. To find out how much of your benefits you have left, request a benefits check from a CIAT VA certifying official.
Even if you meet the above criteria, the Rogers STEM scholarship is not guaranteed.
Priority is given to Veterans and Fry Scholars who:
- Are eligible for the maximum Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit (100% level), and
- Require the most credit hours compared to other applicants

VA Stem Scholarship FAQs
You must be enrolled, or in the final pre-enrollment stages in CIAT’s BACIS (Applied Bachelor Degree in Computer Information Systems) to apply for the VA STEM Scholarship.
The VA typically makes a decision about each scholarship within 30 days. Scholarships are awarded on a monthly basis. Keep an eye on official written letters from the VA, sent to your home address on file if more information is needed.
If the VA approves your application, you’ll get a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) in the mail. This is also called a decision letter. Please provide a copy of this document to your CIAT VA Certifying Official so that we can apply your benefits extension toward your upcoming tuition payments.
If you are not approved, you’ll get a denial letter in the mail.
If we approve your application, you’ll get a GI Bill® extension of up to 9 months (or $30,000, whichever comes first).
The Chapter 33 rates for private or foreign schools apply to the STEM scholarship as well. We update these rates each academic year.
No. You can’t use the Yellow Ribbon Program with this scholarship.
No. You can’t transfer these benefits to dependents.
