K.C. Rudy ’73 & ’75 established the STEM Chase Scholarship to annually support academically achieving students pursuing a degree in a science, technology, engineering or mathematics discipline within the College of Sciences and Mathematics.
Rudy is co-founder of Wildlife on the Move, an organization dedicated to conducting STEM, environmental and nature appreciation outreach programming to a wide variety of groups. The program features an assortment of animals used to help educate the audience in a fun and interactive way.
Incoming freshmen are evaluated based on grades, ACT and/or SAT score(s), class rank and curriculum rigor, while returning SFA students must have a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Transfer students must meet the same requirements as entering freshmen and have maintained at least a 3.0 in all college work taken at other higher education institutions.
This year’s STEM Chase Scholarship recipient is Gianni Grosso, a freshman from Highland Village. Grosso is a graduate of Marcus High School in Lewisville and is pursuing a computer science degree at SFA.
