Monica Heiberg has established a scholarship program to assist students from the state of Washington who are planning to continue their undergraduate education pursuing a degree in a STEM field at a college or university. Andreas Heiberg was born and raised in a small town in southern Norway. In the 1960's he came to the US as a bright young mechanical engineering graduate. Shortly thereafter he became involved in logistics planning and quickly became a respected name in polar research and exploration. Andreas was a humble man, with great patience and an easy-going personality. He passed away in 2021 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Andreas was proud of his family, his heritage, and his career. This scholarship was established by his family to celebrate his life and enthusiasm for learning. Andreas would be gratified knowing he is helping deserving students continue their education. Applicants may be high school seniors or graduates, or current college undergraduates and must be pursuing a degree in a STEM field. Medical-related fields are not eligible. Descendants of Andreas Heiberg and their spouses are also not eligible. Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. One online recommendation form must be submitted on the applicant's behalf no later than three business days after the application deadline date.
