Each year the Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering makes available scholarship support to its most outstanding students. This is made possible by our many generous corporate and individual donors, alumni, and friends of the university.
These merit- or financial-need-based scholarships are available for incoming freshmen and upper division transfer students as well as undergraduate and graduate students based on the eligibility requirements.
Dean’s Scholarships are awarded to over fifty students at an annual Scholarship Luncheon. These awards fund tuition expenses and assist with books and lab fees. Department and Engineering Student Success Center Scholarships are awarded annually based on the individual program’s schedule.
Scholarships are vital not only to support the individual student, but also to shape the future of engineering.
