  • The awards come from a variety of sources within the College and vary annually based on available resources.
  • This one application makes you eligible for the hundreds of scholarships the college awards each year.
  • Students who are currently freshman (but will be sophomores in Fall ‘09) are eligible to apply, as are current sophomores and juniors.
  • Different awards vary in their eligibility criteria. In general, academic performance (2.5 GPA or higher), financial need, and activities are the primary criteria for full-time students majoring in engineering.  Some scholarships may be tied to internships with companies.
