Although there is no minimum required GPA for this scholarship, the student must meet all of the following conditions:
- Enrolled for a minimum of 12 hours
- Mechanical Engineering Undergrad at UT Austin
- Working at least part time
- Receiving no financial support from parents or similar source
- Active member of at least one of the engineering societies (i.e., ASME)
The purpose of this scholarship is to help a student by allowing them to take time off from their job or reduce their work hours if necessary for educational purposes and still have approximately 1 month’s income. This is especially helpful during finals or the end of a major project. It may also be used during the lull between semesters (and prior to receiving that second financial aid check!). The student receiving this scholarship is left to use this check at their own discretion, but please use it well!
All interested students must submit an essay no later than October 31, 2000. The essay must detail what that student’s primary goal is and what they are doing to meet that goal. If you are ready to submit an online application and your essay, please continue.
