Lockheed Martin has established a scholarship program to provide opportunities to students studying select STEM degrees (see eligibility below) that demonstrate financial need and come from underrepresented or underserved communities. In 2024, up to 100 renewable scholarships of $10,000 each are offered for full-time study at an accredited U.S. institution of the student’s choice.
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $10,000 award. Up to 100 awards will be granted in 2024.
Awards are renewable for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first, on the basis of satisfactory academic performance in a full-time course of study at an accredited U.S. four-year school and continued enrollment in an eligible major.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Applicants will be notified in mid-May. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Lockheed Martin. Payments are made in equal installments in August and December.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
Financial need, as calculated by Scholarship America, must be demonstrated for the student to receive an award.
