If anyone tells you this, ignore it.

Plenty of FIRSTers don't go into STEM (I'm Econ and Pre-Law at Syracuse University), and the lack of scholarships is a problem. However, there's nothing stopping you from finding those scholarships elsewhere. But, yes, it is annoying to see a lack of scholarships for more majors.

Just as an FYI - Libby Kamen is non-STEM as well, and I'm sure she'll chime in at some point.

Feel free to send me a PM if you need help about pitching FRC roles in your college essays and anything else. I'd be happy to help you find scholarships as well.
