Boeing Scholarships for High School Seniors

I'm really interested in a career in engineering and heard Boeing offers scholarships. Does anyone know how high school students can apply for these scholarships and what the eligibility requirements are?

Boeing does indeed offer scholarships for engineering students through their Boeing Scholarships program. These scholarships are typically for current college students in their sophomore year or higher, who are studying an engineering or business major, but there could be exceptions.

The application process for Boeing Scholarships vary by region. You would need to check with your local Boeing office to find specific application procedures for Boeing Scholarships in your area. You can email them at UniversityRelations@boeing.com to learn more.

Generally, they require an online application that includes factual information about the applicant, essays, and possibly recommendation letters. Eligibility requirements will also vary but typically include factors such as:

- Being a full-time student majoring in aeronautics, engineering, or a related field (though some scholarships may be open to all STEM fields).

- Having a minimum GPA, often 3.0 or higher.

- Demonstrating commitment to the field through internships, extracurricular activities, etc.

- Being a U.S. citizen or in some cases a permanent U.S. resident.

If you aren't eligible as a high school student, don't worry - there are plenty of other engineering scholarships out there that are designed for high schoolers to apply to them in their senior year. For example, many colleges offer scholarships directly through their engineering department. I'd recommend researching the schools you're interested in to see if they have such opportunities, or even reaching out to the admissions office directly.

Remember, when applying for scholarships, thoroughly read the application instructions and ensure you meet all the eligibility requirements before starting the application process, to ensure you use your time efficiently. You may also want to seek guidance from your high school counselor or a college admissions consultant. They could provide helpful advice on crafting strong essays and help you navigate potential hurdles in the application process.

Good luck with your scholarship search!
