The mission of TranScience is to promote science, healthcare, and innovation through education, research, training, and projects. Our scholarship is one pillar of our mission. To sustain and strengthen our mission, we ask and hope that recipients of our scholarship will consider donating back to the program within the second year of their careers. By accepting and receiving the scholarship, we hope the recipients will donate at least 20% of their scholarship amount each year back to our scholarship program until the full original amount is reached. TranScience will always use 100% of the donation toward any specific program. The uniqueness of TranScience is that all donations will never be used toward the operation of our non-profit organization. This year 2026 TranScience Scholarship will give recipients $5,000 to help with tuition.
