Scholarships can be discontinued without notification to the student or the College of Engineering.

Scholarship Awards and Acceptance

The amount varies based on the scholarship contributor.    Some amounts may be less than a hundred dollars and some are in the thousands.   Recipient notifications will be posted within the respective departments and until a notification is received by the student, there is no guarantee of  an award.

Scholarship Acceptances will be signed en masse. The scholarship selection process and acceptance schedule will be posted on the web and in the respective departments begining January 2, 2007. Students will have the option of signing on 2 specific days.

Out of State Fee Waivers

An out-of-state waiver is the reduction of out-of-state fees. The College of Engineering evaluates eligibility based on the amount of the scholarship (must be greater than $1,000 (annually) and whether it was competitive.   The recipient must ultimately work with the scholarship administrators to determine eligibility.
