Scholarships

Corporate engagement is a crucial aspect of the Women in Engineering program, and the granting of corporate scholarships is the annual expression of WIE’s industry partners’ shared commitment to encouraging greater female participation in engineering professions and careers.  Each company defines their own unique parameters regarding scholarships they wish to give, and WIE reviews and recommends deserving students for these awards.

Eligibility

Eligibility begins with the students’ academic performance, and resume submission—the basic qualification is a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above.These applications are matched with the interests of corporate scholarship sponsors.

In 2012, over $165,500 of corporate scholarships were awarded to over 147 outstanding students. These scholarships were sponsored by the following companies:
