Exxon Mobil Bernard Harris Math and Science Scholarships

Named for the first African American to walk in space, a new scholarship is now available to encourage minority students to pursue college degrees and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The Exxon Mobil Bernard Harris Math and Science Scholarships are for 2010 graduating high school seniors in school districts represented by the Council of the Great City Schools.

Four scholarships for two males and two females -- $5,000 each -- will be awarded to two African American and two Hispanic students on behalf of the former astronaut, physician and businessman. Deadline for student submissions is May 14.
