Hill-Lopes Scholars Program

As Maryland’s premier program for women in STEM, the Hill-Lopes Scholars Program delivers dedicated, transformational support for scholars during their undergraduate careers.

Through a unique combination of financial support, layered one-on-one mentoring, community-building, career exploration and confidence-boosting experiences, our program prepares scholars to confidently enter historically male-dominated sectors.
