About Us
The Browne Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) that reduces barriers to entry for underrepresented
minorities in the
fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The world needs more scientists and
engineers. Lowering
barriers to entry for underrepresented groups can help solve this problem, and can have a multiplicative
impact if
they
in turn create opportunities for others.
Scholarship
We offer an annual $7,500 scholarship to students who are pursuing a degree in Science, Technology,
Engineering, or
Mathematics and are a member of an underrepresented group in their intended field of study.
In order to
be eligible,
applicants must either:
- attend Dixon High School in North Carolina
or
- live in the Dixon High
School district but
choose to attend an online school, early college, or other alternative
The deadline for the 2024 scholarship is April 30.
