John P. McNulty Program for Leadership in Science and Mathematics
Together, we elevate women to revolutionize leadership in STEM, today and tomorrow.
Designed for highly qualified young women who are pursuing a degree in one of the natural sciences, mathematics or computer science at Saint Joseph’s University, this challenging program provides full- and partial-tuition scholarships and a supportive environment to help bright young women become leaders who reach the highest echelons of the STEM professions.
Apply to the Program
McNulty Scholars receive two different levels of scholarship funding: a 4-year, full-tuition scholarship or a 4-year, partial-tuition scholarship, provided they:
- Remain a full-time student at Saint Joseph’s University
- Continue in an academic major supported by the McNulty Program (one of the natural sciences, mathematics or computer science)
- Maintain a 3.2 GPA for each year of enrollment
- Submit a reapplication to the Program yearly
All McNulty Scholars will benefit from ongoing faculty mentoring, research and internships opportunities, and professional and leadership development.

A gift to the SOAR campaign from the McNulty Foundation means more opportunities for more women in STEM. Previous McNulty Scholars are a testament to why that matters.

I remain grateful to the faculty in the Chemistry Department at SJU and to the McNulty Program for equipping me with the knowledge and leadership skills to confidently enter my profession.

The McNulty Program was truly a catalyst for what has become a deep passion for advocating for women in STEM, particularly in computer science. While I've been involved in various initiatives beyond the McNulty Program in graduate school and professionally, I always relish the opportunity to continue supporting the McNulty community, whether it's informal meetings with current scholars or the chance to serve on the program's selection committee.

The McNulty Program gave me the opportunity to work closely with my research mentor Dr. Tudor in her lab. There, I not only developed my own project and great research skills, but I also formed a valuable mentor relationship that’s continued since graduation.
