Scholarships - Submit Application by January 15, 2010
Last year was another great year as far as scholarships are concerned. The Greater Houston Chapter awarded two renewable 4-year scholarships in the amount of $5,500 each, two additional scholarships of $1,000 each to graduating high school students in the Houston area and another $1,000 scholarship to a University of Houston Engineering student. The total amount of scholarship awarded including previous 4-year scholarships was $16,000. This was above and beyond any previous year of scholarships.
The Texas Engineering Foundation (TEF) has recently approved the 2010 scholarship application form. The scholarship applications are provided to Texas high school counselors and will soon be available at www.tspe.org under the scholarship heading. In addition to this scholarship application, other funding options for students pursuing engineering can be seen on the same website location. The scholarship applications are due Friday, January 15, 2009. If you know any students who qualify for this scholarship program, encourage them to visit the website or contact their local Scholarship Committee Chair.
This year, the Greater Houston Chapter will award two scholarships to graduating high school seniors in the Greater Houston area. The scholarships are in the amount of $5,500 to be spread over the four years, gradually increasing with the advancement of the student. Students applying for the scholarships must meet GPA, SAT or ACT requirements, plan to attend a Texas college, major in an accredited engineering program, and plan to participate in an engineering professional society, preferably a student chapter of TSPE where available.
To inquire about the Greater Houston Chapter of TSPE scholarship programs, please contact the Scholarship Committee Chair, Ms. Elizabeth “Liza” H. Kirk, P.E. at 281-350-7027 or ekirk@aeiengr.com. Don’t forget, you can earn up to 5 PDH credits for active involvement with any technical/professional society involvement and this scholarship committee counts!
