Fuiava Engineering Scholarship
Engineering is an incredibly powerful field that can be used to build a better world and to create real solutions to life’s problems.
Engineering offers many incredible opportunities for one’s career, but these benefits are locked away behind years of education, which comes at no small expense. When higher education is financially inaccessible, bright students lose out on their professional futures.
This scholarship seeks to support Samoan students who are ready to take on the challenge of engineering as they pursue higher education.
Any Samoan high school or undergraduate student who is pursuing engineering may apply for this scholarship opportunity. However, first-generation college students and single mothers are preferred.
