To qualify as a UH-HLSAMP scholar, the student must:
- declare a STEM major
- be enrolled full-time (minimum twelve semester credit hours)
- maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher
- maintain a math/science GPA of 2.5 or higher

UH-HLSAMP stipend awards vary based on level of involvement. Most new awards will be $1000 per semester. The maximum award received is $3000 per semester. These amounts are subject to modification as funding may change over time. Stipend awards are renewable each semester, and UH-HLSAMP scholars are expected to apply for renewal each semester. |
