Scholarships from the Department

The Department of Metallurgical Engineering has a number of scholarships available to incoming and continuing students. We typically offer 15 to 25 scholarships to incoming freshman each year. Scholarships range between $1,000 and $4,000 per academic year and may be in addition to scholarships from other sources. The incoming student scholarships are based upon ACT score, high school grade point average, and extracurricular activities.

Because several factors are analyzed to determine the amount offered to incoming freshman, it is difficult to give a complete scholarship formula. Typical high school students that are offered scholarships have a 3.7 GPA, an ACT score of 27 and have participated in at least one type of extracurricular activity. Presently, all students who maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA while following the metallurgical engineering curriculum receive a scholarship, the value of which depends upon academic performance.
