D.O.O.R.S Scholarship

The Development of Our Research Scientists (D.O.O.R.S) Scholarship, presented by the BioPharmaceutical Technology Center Institute in partnership with Promega, is intended to recognize and empower underrepresented students in STEM. Awardees are offered $5,000 that can be used towards resources to support tuition and fees required for enrollment or attendance at an educational institution, including fees, books, supplies and equipment required for courses within that institution.

In addition, D.O.O.R.S. awardees participate in mentorship relationships. Scholars are matched with a mentor from Promega for 1:1 sessions and have larger group sessions focusing on building skills like scientific writing, presentation giving, exploring potential career paths, self-care and conflict resolution in the workplace, and more.

The BioPharmaceutical Technology Center Institute (BTC Institute) is pleased to collaborate with Promega Corporation to provide scholarships to 10 students interested in engaging with science careers in the biotechnology industry.

The winners will receive:

• A $5,000 USD scholarship to be used to pay for tuition and fees required for enrollment or attendance at recipients’ college or university, payable to the institution.
• Mentorship that will be co-led by students and mentors to strengthen their development as scientists. These sessions will also focus on fostering professional growth and career readiness.
• An invitation to participate in DOORS Scholars’ Day, including a trip to Madison, WI, and an opportunity to meet with industry leaders, scientists, and mentors.
