$5,000 Technical Scholarship for Children
or Grandchildren of SAE Detroit Section Members



Application Deadline: January 15, 2010



Financial Support

Two $5,000 renewable scholarships will be awarded in May 2010.


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. SAT/ACT scores are also considered and should be provided.
  • Financial need is a consideration.  Applicants must submit a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.
  • Scholarship recipients must maintain a 2.5 grade point average and remain in good standing in an engineering or science program 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 the scholarship recipients.

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