$3,500 Technical Scholarship for Children
or Grandchildren of SAE Detroit Section Members



Application Deadline: December 1, 2007






Program Outline

Established in 2001, this scholarship is sponsored by SAE Detroit Section to encourage children and grandchildren of Detroit
Section members to pursue careers in engineering or the sciences. The Section recognizes there is a need for more student
candidates in these fields as a shortage of qualified graduates is expected in future years.


Eligibility

All applicants must meet the following criteria:
  • Be a child or grandchild of a current SAE Detroit Section member.
  • Be a high school senior and citizen of the United States at the date of application.
  • Intend to enroll in a two-or four-year engineering or science program at an accredited college or university.
  • Have a minimum 3.0 grade point average and 1200 SAT or 28 ACT composite score.
  • Demonstrated financial need is required.
  • Students must maintain a 2.5 grade point average and remain in good standing at the college or university in
    order to qualify for scholarship renewal. A student having completed a two-year program may continue for an
    additional consecutive two years at a second school offering a complete engineering or science degree program.
Selection

The SAE Detroit Section Scholarship Committee in cooperation with the SAE Foundation will determine final selection of scholarship recipients. Two $3,500 renewable scholarships will be awarded in May 2007.

Applications are available online at http://www.sae.org/students/stuschol.htm or call the Section office at (248) 324-4445.
