Financial Aid

The College of Engineering and the Department offer a limited number of scholarships and awards each year. Most scholarships and awards have different criteria in which one can qualify. Three common types are:

Achievement scholarships, which are awarded on the basis of achievement or potential,

Need, based on the outcome of results of the evaluation of your Financial Aid form (FAF),

Special criteria, specific areas of interest or involvement usually specified by a particular donor.
