I'm passionate about environmental engineering and hoping to find some scholarships to support my college education in this field. Can anyone recommend programs or organizations that offer scholarships specifically for students interested in environmental engineering?
There are indeed several scholarships for students interested in environmental engineering. Here are some examples:
1. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) provides numerous scholarships for civil engineering students, some of which are dedicated to environmental engineering. For example, the Rudolph Hering Medal is awarded to members of the ASCE’s Environmental and Water Resources Institute whose papers make notable contributions to increasing knowledge in environmental engineering.
2. The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) offers the “Steinman Scholarship” specifically for students interested in environmental engineering.
3. The Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI) periodically offers scholarships, fellowships, and awards for students venturing in the environmental engineering field.
You may need to review the specific eligibility criteria and application procedures for these programs, as they may vary. Additionally, check with the financial aid office at the colleges you're interested in, as they might offer scholarships for students majoring in environmental engineering. Lastly, be sure to fill out the FAFSA since many scholarships utilize this information too. Hope this helps!
