Scholarships - Submit Application by January 15, 2010

Monica Silver — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:00:00 GMT

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!

PACE

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 00:20:04 GMT

Political Action Committee for Engineers

The Political Action Committee for Engineers (PACE) distributes funds collected from members of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers. These funds are contributed to candidates for legislative and statewide offices whose ideology and/or voting records are consistent with the goals and objectives of engineers. While the amount contributed may be modest in comparison to a number of other political action committees, this along with other Texas Society of Professional Engineers' involvement will allow us to continue to be a leading voice for Texas engineers. The PACE Board of Trustees meets several times a year to monitor political developments, formulate endorsements and recommend contributions to various candidates. Endorsed candidates do not necessarily receive PACE contributions, as some may be unopposed or simply not fully supportive of TSPE's legislative agenda.

In addition, PACE co-sponsors, along with the Legislative & Governmental Affairs Committee, a legislative reception early each regular legislative session. Finally, PACE and TSPE work together with other business and professional groups (such as the Texas Civil Justice League and Texans for Lawsuit Reform) in order to have an effective impact upon the election process, thus electing candidates to political offices who will help make a healthier economic environment for all Texans.

If issues such as protecting the integrity of your engineering registration, liability reform, taxation, competitive bidding, etc., are to be influenced by engineers, we must continue to increase our level of commitment so that our impact with elected officials will become more significant.

Engineering is an honored profession. Many studies have indicated that the general public has great respect for the engineering profession and the ethics that engineers exhibit. We must ensure that our profession remains in high esteem and make certain that those who aspire to reduce our position in society are not successful. We must make sure that we have a healthier business climate in Texas if we are going to have a higher standard of living for ourselves and future generations.
