Engineering Scholarships

Help us create a brilliant future for tomorrow’s engineers by providing financial support for our students so they can focus on their academic careers. Scholarships are an important source of funding designed to help students meet their educational and living expenses. Many students struggle to afford costs beyond tuition such as their basic needs for food, essentials, and housing.

The generous support of our donors and supporters allows us to recognize the accomplishments of our students and promote academic excellence in the engineering field. Your gift can help students focus on their ability to research, design, build, and test, and reach their full potential in creating cutting-edge technology and research.

Support us today to ensure the tradition of excellence known to all Anteater engineers and help us continue to produce leaders and innovators of the future.
