Hey guys! So, I'm a junior with a 4.0 GPA, 34 ACT, and strong extracurriculars in engineering (including robotics and internships). I'm planning to apply to schools like MIT, Caltech, and Carnegie Mellon, but I need help finding scholarships specifically for engineering students. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! It's great to hear about your accomplishments and your passion for engineering. There are quite a few scholarships available for engineering students, so you're in luck! Here are a few that you might find interesting.
1. Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Scholarship: This is applicable if you are a female student. They offer various scholarships to women pursuing engineering degrees.
2. ASME Scholarships: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers provides numerous scholarships for students pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering.
3. IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative: If you plan on pursuing a career in electrical engineering, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Power and Energy Society offers several scholarships.
4. National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE): NSPE offers multiple engineering scholarships, though some of them may have additional eligibility criteria.
Besides these options, I'd recommend searching for local scholarships in your area and checking if your potential universities offer any merit-based scholarships for engineering students.
Best of luck in your scholarship search and future college applications!
