Scholarship: ASEE’s NASA Aeronautics Program
It is expected that approximately 20 two-year undergraduate scholarships and 5 two-year graduate scholarships will be awarded annually to students in Aeronautics and related fields. The program is open to U.S. Citizens who are enrolled in an accredited U.S. college or university. Undergraduate students will receive up to $15,000 awarded for each school year, to be used for tuition, room and board, or other school-related costs. Graduate students will receive up to $35,000 awarded for each school year, to be used for tuition, room and board, or other school-related costs. All students will have the opportunity to attend a summer internship at a NASA Research Center with a summer stipend up to $10,000.

SCCMS, South Carolina’s Coalition for Mathematics and Science brings together advocates from business/industry, education, government and community organizations who seek constancy and quality in the state’s approach to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. Though our name is new, our history and our impact on instructional improvement date back to the South Carolina Statewide Systemic Initiative (SSI) and Leadership and Assistance for Science Education Reform (LASER) partnership forged in 1998. SCCMS is a member of the National Alliance of State Science and Mathematics Coalitions (NASSMC).
The College of Engineering will host this annual scholarship competition on Friday, November 13, 2009 for academically talented high school students in the U.S.A. who are interested in one of the engineering majors – aerospace, biological computer, electrical, industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering as well as computer science.The Wallace Scholar program is designed to support students with four-year scholarships to aide them in successfully completing the engineering program and meeting their goal of a career in engineering.
WE Connect is designed for admitted high school women and their parents or guardians who wish to learn more about the UT Austin Cockrell School of Engineering. Current engineering students answer questions and provide advice while participants tour the Women Engineers in LittlefielD (WELD) program. The program is free and occurs during Explore UT, The University of Texas at Austin’s annual open house.
We believe students get excited about careers in through interaction and hands-on demonstrations. With that in mind, The School of Engineering, Mathematics, and Science (SEMS) at RMU continues to host Saturday workshops on an on-going basis during the fall and spring for middle and high school students. The workshops involve all three disciplines and some of the topics include Robotics with Lego Mindstorms, Modern Lab Instrumentation, Perfume Science, and ZOOB Mania.
The USC Viterbi School’s Engineering Writing Program publishes the online magazine Illumin (http://illumin.usc.edu) as an educational resource. Illumin’s mission is to be a “review of engineering in everyday life,” explaining the relevance of engineering practice to common, non-engineering activities. Students and teachers world-wide have used Illumin’s article’s for reports and projects.
Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering invites you to participate in a program called C-Tech² – Computers and Technology at Virginia Tech. A primary focus of the program is to help develop and sustain the interests of women in engineering and the sciences. The program allows you to explore applications of engineering, math, and science in a way that is fun and exciting. You will spend the majority of your time involved in hands-on activities designed to increase your interest in and knowledge of applications of engineering, math, and science to real world situations. The target population for the program is rising junior and senior high school girls.
The Marine Advanced Technology Education Center (MATE) Center coordinates an international student ROV competition and a network of regional ROV contests that take place across the world. Student teams from middle schools, high schools, home schools, community colleges, and universities participate in the events, which consist of different “classes” that vary depending on the sophistication of the ROVs and the mission requirements.
StraightForward Media’s offers four different $500 scholarships a year exclusively to students attending or planning to enroll in a post-secondary engineering program in the United States or abroad.
