Approved fields of study for the STEM Scholarship

Science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) fields of study that are approved for the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship are based on the Department of Education’s Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP). The approved STEM fields, and related fields, are listed on this page. Related fields involve research, innovation, or development of new technologies using engineering, mathematics, health, computer science, or natural sciences. Keep reading to find out which fields of study we’ve approved.

We reviewed and updated these fields of study on July 2, 2026.

Why it helps to know your program’s CIP code

The program you want to enroll in may qualify for STEM benefits even if the program name isn’t an exact match to a field of study listed on this page. Program names can vary by school, but schools assign a CIP code to every program.

The best way to know if your program qualifies for STEM Scholarship benefits is to find out your program’s CIP code. Then, check for the CIP code on this page. You can ask for this code in the registrar’s office at your school. You also may be able to find the CIP code in the official school catalog.

Note: If the CIP code for your school’s program doesn’t match the CIP code for one of the fields of study listed on this page, but you think your school’s program should qualify for STEM benefits, contact us to confirm whether the program is eligible. When you contact us, be ready to tell us the CIP code for the program.
