Michigan Tech has been awarded NSF scholarships in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. For the next four years, the program will award scholarships to junior and senior engineering students, as well as first-year engineering graduate students.
Faculty and staff are asked to alert students about this opportunity.
The purpose of the undergraduate scholarships is to improve the retention of upper-division engineering students who have financial need and other risk factors that make it difficult to complete their undergraduate degree.
The purpose of the graduate scholarships is to improve the recruitment of women and minorities to graduate school in engineering.
At the undergraduate level, the program will award 35 scholarships per year in amounts of $1,000 to $5,000.
At the graduate level, the program will award five scholarships per year at $8,000.
The program also features mentoring and professional development opportunities. For more information and applications, see http://www.doe.mtu.edu/sseed/ .
