ECE Scholarships

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department has a limited number of funds available to provide Department assistance and scholarships to incoming and current students obtaining either an electrical or computer engineering degree. The table below lists funds from which scholarships are currently awarded. There are several other scholarship funds in the process of accumulating capital (via donations).

* Awards are typically distributed in two payments, one for each semester. These are "nominal" or approximate award numbers and amounts. The actual numbers may differ slightly from year to year depending on the number of qualified applicants, the yield from the fund for a particular year, or other Department/student circumstances.
