Riegle Family Scholarship
Students from disadvantaged backgrounds often have to think creatively in order to finance their college education.
With limited family support and student loans carrying a high interest rate that can be difficult to repay, the road to a college degree is full of challenges. Achieving a career in advanced scientific or technological fields can be particularly difficult due to the years of schooling required to prepare.
This scholarship seeks to support low-income students who need financial support in order to achieve their higher education dreams.
Any low-income high school or undergraduate student who is pursuing engineering, software, computer science, or a related field with at least a 3.2 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
