The University of Rhode Island Enhancing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education Diversity (URI ESTEEMED) Program is designed to provide support for students in STEM fields. The goal of the program is to prepare undergraduate STEM majors to conduct biomedical- and engineering-related research through academic, social, and research skills development.

We seek students who are interested in learning more about research in biomedical sciences, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, and health sciences. ESTEEMED scholars will receive financial support during and will be given exceptional opportunities and support to ensure maximal success and high academic achievement.
