Scholarships and financial aid

Scholarships empower our students to focus on what's most important: the future.

The College of Engineering is fortunate to have a community of alumni and donors that help support deserving students with additional scholarships. Most of these undergraduate scholarships target students who have completed at least one term as an engineering student and demonstrate a combination of academic achievement, leadership and financial need. Although financial need is not required for all college scholarships, applicants are required to have a current FAFSA on file with the university's financial aid office. Students falling under a special circumstances category prohibiting them from filing a FAFSA are still able to apply for scholarships.
