Higher education comes at a significant expense, requiring many students to think creatively, scrimp, and save in order to cover tuition and other costs.

Not all students are on equal footing when it comes to paying for college. Low-income students face a particular disadvantage when pursuing college as they often don’t receive any financial assistance from their families and they may be wary of student loans due to the fear of high interest rates and the possibility of defaulting on payments.

This scholarship aims to support smart, self-driven, ambitious, kind, and generous engineers so they can pay for their college tuition.

Any low-income high school senior planning to pursue a four-year degree or a current four-year undergraduate student may apply for this scholarship if they’re pursuing engineering. Applicants should be smart, self-driven, ambitious, kind, generous, honest, and empathetic, with a passion for solving problems.

To apply, tell us about your long-term career goals and the underlying values that drive them.
