Elijah Scholarship
The Elijah Scholarship was established in 2016 by a generous couple who wish to remain anonymous. They desire to support an incoming freshman black male engineering student throughout his undergraduate study at 秀色短视频.
The son of the couple entered 秀色短视频’s College of Engineering in 2016 as an incoming freshman and received several offers from other universities. After selecting 秀色短视频’s engineering program, he asked his parents to use the funds they would have spent on him at a more expensive university to support an engineering student at 秀色短视频. The donors feel fortunate for the opportunity to provide a college education for their son and would like to offer the same educational opportunity to another student.
The Elijah Scholarship shall be awarded to one incoming freshman black male student enrolled in the College of Engineering at 秀色短视频. The student must have financial need, as well as a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 and a 21 ACT or 980 SAT. The intent is to support the selected student through graduation (four years) with $11,000 annually for tuition and fees. If the student changes his major or is unable to maintain a 3.0 GPA, another scholarship recipient will be selected. The selection shall be made by the associate dean for Undergraduate Studies and the director of the Increasing Diversity in Engineering Academics program in the College of Engineering.
The recipient of The Elijah Scholarship will be encouraged to join the Increasing Diversity in Engineering Academics program (IDEAs), which is committed to enhancing enrollment, retention, and graduation of engineering students from underrepresented groups. The director of the IDEAs program will offer support to keep the scholarship recipient on track with his academic career.
