INSGC funds scholarships for students pursuing careers in STEM (Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology) fields. Recipients are chosen on a competitive basis. Harms is the sixth USI engineering student to receive an INSGC scholarship for 2010-11. Harms is from Bone Gap, Illinois. He is vice president of the USI student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He earned an associate degree from Wabash Valley College in Mt Carmel, Illinois, in 2009.
