College of Engineering/SEC Global Engineering Access Scholarship
This scholarship is designed to defray students’ costs for international learning experiences, for example related to study abroad during Summer 2022. Eligible costs may also include (but are not limited to) passport fees, the CPT required course fee (for international students completing a summer internship in the U.S.) or fees for a virtual language or culture course. The committee considers not only financial need (both FAFSA-demonstrated and need that might be missed by the FAFSA), but also the quality of motivation and the educational fit of the proposed activity as well as the overall diversity across applications of participation in global experiences.
Eligibility Requirements:
1) Full-time undergraduate student majoring within the College of Engineering
2) Student returning for Fall 2022 semester
3) Overall GPA of 3.0 or above
4) International program takes place during summer 2022
Instructions for Essay Questions:
Please provide thoughtful, well-written responses to all essay questions. You should strive to answer in your own voice, providing specific examples for how your planned experience will contribute to your future career plans in engineering and increase your global experience. There is no set length for your answers.
