MEP Scholarship Application & Database
Be eligible for one of our industry-sponsored and MEP scholarship opportunities throughout the academic year. We'll refer to this database each time we award industry-sponsored or MEP scholarships.
Review Timeline: The fall quarter review will take place in October, the winter quarter review in late January, and the spring quarter review in mid-April.
Please note:
-
Students have the opportunity to submit a new application each quarter if they'd prefer.
-
The majority of our industry-sponsored scholarships are awarded in fall quarter.
-
Students must be paid members of SHPE and NSBE to be eligible for club-specific scholarships.
-
In an effort to be equitable and maximize scholarship support, students will only receive one scholarship a year. MEP STAR students are not eligible for MEP Success scholarships.

The MEP Team will prioritize students with urgent financial needs in our review process.
