Mechanical Engineering Scholarships for International Students?

Are there any scholarships specifically for international students majoring in mechanical engineering? I'm planning to apply for engineering programs and need information on financial support options to help cover tuition costs.

Absolutely, there are numerous scholarships available for international students that are specifically geared towards those who are interested in mechanical engineering.

1. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has numerous scholarships offered to students who are enrolled in engineering-related majors, including mechanical engineering. These include the Donald & Barbara Mozley Scholarship, the BMW/SAE Engineering Scholarship, and the Dan and Vicky Hancock Scholarship.

2. The Cummins Inc. Scholarship for Mechanical Engineering Students is another excellent option. It's designed specifically for students who are pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering, and they consider international students.

3. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) also offers scholarships, which are awarded on the basis of academic achievement and financial need. It's important to check the specifics as the eligibility differs for each scholarship.

4. Lastly, individual universities often offer scholarships specifically to their international engineering students. For instance, the College of Engineering at Iowa State University offers the International Merit Scholarship for Undergraduates in Mechanical Engineering.

Remember, scholarship applications often include an essay and/or letters of recommendation, so make sure to prepare those materials accordingly. Start your search and applications early, as these scholarships can be highly competitive. Further, always check the specific eligibility criteria for each scholarship. They vary with respect to nationality, academic achievement, financial need, and field of study, amongst other things. Good luck in your search!
