Lockheed Martin Scholarships

The 2024 scholar class represents some of the brightest minds entering the STEM field studying at institutions across the country!
Launched in 2019, the Lockheed Martin Scholarship program is a significant investment in the next generation of STEM talent. We are thrilled to support students of all ages in their pursuit of postsecondary STEM credentials and help make their educational dreams a reality. By contributing to hundreds of scholarships, we're proud to play a part in the ambitions of many bright students, particularly those from underrepresented communities in STEM.

Join the Quest!

Code Quest® Academy and CYBERQUEST® Academy are free, accessible digital platforms designed to help students prepare for their respective competitions through practice programming and cybersecurity challenges.

Code Quest® Academy also offers a STEM outreach program, pairing Lockheed Martin volunteers with high school classrooms for virtual mentoring in coding and career development, supporting students as they prepare for the Code Quest competition.
