Introduction WHY THIS DIRECTORY IS NEEDED According to the U.S. Department of Labor, engineering is one of only twenty five occupations with “fast growth, high pay, and low employment.” The Department estimates that, in the next few years, there will be more than 1.5 million jobs in the field, with salaries for students graduating with a bachelor’s degree starting at more than $40,000 a year; for those with a master’s degree and no experience, nearly $50,000; and for those with a Ph.D., more than $60,000. Hundreds of financial aid programs, representing millions of dollars, are available to help students prepare for these jobs. How can you find out about these programs? Traditional financial aid directories don’t offer much assistance. For example, the landmark Scholarships, Fellowships, and Loans (published by Gale Group) and the eclectic Scholarship Book (published by Prentice-Hall) just begin to scratch the surface. And the previously-issued subject-specific listings, Dollars for College: The Quick Guide to Financial Aid for Engineering (formerly published by Ferguson) and Financial Aid for Minorities in Engineering and Science (published last by Garrett Park Press), have ceased publication. That’s why this updated edition of RSP Funding for Engineering Students is so important. Now, in just one place, engineering students (along with the counselors and librarians trying to serve them) will have detailed information about the 700 scholarships, fellowships, awards, grants, forgivable loans, and other funding opportunities available specifically to them. The funding opportunities included in this directory have been carefully selected. Only the biggest and the best made the cut! Each entry is worth at least $1,000 (many award up to $25,000 or pay full tuition). And, not one of these programs requires you to pay back any money (provided, of course, that you meet the program requirements). RSP Funding for Engineering Students has been designed so that you can easily scan through a wide array of funding programs set aside specifically to support study, research, creative activities, past accomplishments, future projects, and travel for both undergraduate and graduate engineering students. You’ll find all areas of engineering are covered, ranging from general practice to acoustical, agricultural, automotive, chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, industrial, mechanical, nuclear, structural, and many others.

WHAT’S INCLUDED? RSP Funding for Engineering Students, 2002-2004 is unique. Not only does it provides the most comprehensive coverage of engineering-related funding opportunities (700 entries), but it also offers the most informative program descriptions (on the average, twice the detail found in any other source). In addition, only funding set aside for engineering students is included. If a program doesn’t support study, training, research, or creative activities specifically for this group, it’s not covered here. Third, only the biggest and best portable funding programs are covered in this book. To be listed here, a program has to offer engineering students at least $1,000 per year. Many go way beyond that, paying $25,000 or more each year, or covering the full cost of college attendance. Plus, you can take the money awarded by these scholarships to any number of schools. Unlike other financial aid directories, which often list large numbers of scholarships worth only a few hundred dollars or available only to students enrolled at one specific school, all of the entries in this book are substantial and “portable.”

Fourth, many of the programs listed here have never been covered in the other financial aid directories. So, even if you have checked elsewhere, you will want to look at RSP Funding for Engineering Students for additional leads. Fifth, unlike other funding directories, which tend to follow a straight alphabetical arrangement, this one divides entries by educational level (undergraduates and graduate students), to facilitate your search for appropriate programs. The same convenience is offered in the indexes, where sponsoring organization, geographic focus, subject, and deadline date entries specifically identify opportunities for either undergraduate or graduate students. Further, we have tried to anticipate all the ways you might wish to search for funding; we’ve organized the volume so you can identify programs not only by recipient group, but by program title, specialty, sponsor, residency requirements, where the money can be spent, and even deadline date. Plus, we’ve included exactly the information you’ll need to decide if a program is right for you: purpose, eligibility requirements, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and application date. You even get fax numbers, toll-free numbers, e-mail addresses, and web sites (when available), along with complete contact information. Finally, we’ve included all types of “free money” in our listing: • Scholarships. Programs that support studies and related activities at the undergraduate level in the United States. Usually no return of service or repayment is required. • Fellowships. Programs that support studies and related activities at the graduate level in the United States. Usually no return of service or repayment is required. • Grants. Programs that provide funding to support innovative efforts, travel, projects, creative activities, or research at any level (from associate degree through doctoral) in the United States. Usually no return of service or repayment is required. • Awards. Competitions, prizes, and honoraria granted in recognition of individual personal accomplishments, research results, creative writing, or other achievements. Prizes received solely as the result of entering contests are excluded. • Forgivable loans and loan repayment programs. Loans that convert to scholarships or fellowships if the recipients meet specified service requirements.

WHAT’S EXCLUDED? While this book is intended to be the most current and comprehensive source of information on funding available to undergraduate and graduate engineering students, there are some programs we’ve specifically excluded from the directory: • Programs that do not accept applications from U.S. citizens or residents: If a program is open only to foreign nationals or excludes Americans from applying, it is not covered. • Programs not focused on the engineering field: Only funding opportunities set aside specifically for engineering students are described here. If you are looking for money to support study, training, research, or creative activities in other areas, check out the general or subject-specific financial aid directories in your library or bookstore. • Funding not aimed at incoming, currently-enrolled, or returning engineering students: If a program is not specifically for undergraduate or graduate engineering students (e.g., a contest open to adults of any age, a research grant

for postdoctoral engineers) or is open to teams rather than individual students, it is excluded. • Individual school-based programs: The directory identifies “portable” programs—ones that can be used at any number of schools. Financial aid programs administered by individual schools solely for the benefit of their own students or staff are not covered. Write directly to the schools you are considering to get information on their offerings. • Money for study or research outside the United States: Since there are comprehensive and up-to-date directories that describe all available funding for study and research abroad (see Financial Aid for Research and Creative Activities Abroad and Financial Aid for Study and Training Abroad, both published by Reference Service Press), only programs that support study or research in the United States are covered here. • Very restrictive programs: In general, programs are excluded if they are open only to a limited geographic area (counties, cities) or offer limited financial support (under $1,000 per year). • Money that must be repaid: Only “free money” is identified here. If a program requires repayment or charges interest, it’s not listed. Now you can find out about millions of dollars in aid and know that not one dollar of that will need to be repaid (provided, of course, that stated requirements are met). • Indirect aid programs: Programs that provide funds to engineering-related organizations, agencies, and institutions, rather than directly to the engineering students themselves, are not covered. For information on those programs, see a grants directory, like the Foundation Center’s Foundation Directory or Oryx Press’ Directory of Research Grants. • Programs that did not respond to our research inquiries: To make sure that the information included in the second edition of RSP Funding for Engineering Students is both reliable and current, the editors at Reference Service Press 1) reviewed and updated all relevant programs currently in our funding database and 2) searched exhaustively for new program leads in a variety of sources, including directories, news reports, newsletters, annual reports, and sites on the Internet. Since we only include program descriptions that are written directly from information supplied by the sponsoring organization (no information is ever taken from secondary sources), we sent up to four collection letters (followed by up to three telephone inquiries, if necessary) to each sponsor identified in the process. Despite our best efforts, however, some sponsoring organizations still failed to respond and, as a result, their programs are not included in this edition of the directory.

HOW THE DIRECTORY IS ORGANIZED The directory is divided into two sections: 1) a detailed list of funding opportunities open to undergraduate and graduate engineering students; and 2) a set of indexes to help you pinpoint appropriate funding programs. Funding for Engineering Students. The first section of the directory describes 700 scholarships, fellowships, grants, awards, forgivable loans, and other funding opportunities for engineering students at any level and in any specialty. The programs listed are sponsored by nearly 400 federal and state government agencies, professional organizations, foundations, educational associations, social and religious groups, corporations, and military/veterans organizations. To help you tailor your search, the entries in this section are grouped into two main categories:

• Undergraduates. Described here are 440 scholarships, scholarship/loans, grants, awards, and other funding opportunities that support undergraduate study, training, research, or creative activities in engineering. These programs are open to high school seniors, currently-enrolled college students, and students returning to college after an absence. Money is available to support these students in any type of postsecondary institution, ranging from technical schools and community colleges to major universities. • Graduate Students. Described here are 260 fellowships, grants, awards, fellowship/loans, and other funding opportunities that support postbaccalaureate study, training, research, and creative activities in the field of engineering. Funding is available for all graduate-level degrees: master’s, doctoral, and professional. Each program entry in the first section of the guide has been prepared to give you a concise but clear picture of the available funding. Information (when available) is provided on organization address and telephone numbers (including fax and toll-free), e-mail address, web site, purpose, eligibility, money awarded, duration, special features, limitations, number of awards, and application deadline. The sample entry on page 7 illustrates and explains the program entry structure. The information provided for each of the programs covered in this section was supplied by sponsoring organizations in response to requests we sent through the end of 2001. While RSP Funding for Engineering Students is intended to cover as comprehensively as possible the available funding, some sponsoring organizations did not respond to our research inquiries and, consequently, are not included in this edition of the directory. Indexes. To help you find the aid you need, we have constructed five indexes; these will let you access the listings by sponsoring organization, residency, tenability, engineering specialty, and deadline date. These indexes use a word-by-word alphabetical arrangement. Note: numbers in the index refer to entry numbers, not to page numbers in the book. Sponsoring Organization Index. This index makes it easy to identify agencies that offer funding to engineering students for study, training, research, creative, or other activities. Sponsoring organizations are listed alphabetically, word by word. In addition, we’ve used a code to help you identify the focus of the funding programs sponsored by these organizations: undergraduates or graduate students. Residency Index. Some programs listed in this book are restricted to engineering students in particular states or regions. Others are open to students wherever they live. This index helps you identify programs available only to residents in your area as well as programs that have no residency restrictions. Tenability Index. Some programs in this book can be used only in specific cities, counties, states, or regions. Others may be used anywhere in the United States. Use this index to find out what programs are available to support your educational activities in a particular geographic area. Engineering Specialty Index. Refer to this index when you want to identify funding in a specific area of engineering. More than three dozen specialties are indexed here, in addition to general practice: acoustical, agricultural, automotive, chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, industrial, mechanical, nuclear, structural, and many others. Calendar Index. Since most financial aid programs have specific deadline dates, some may have closed by the time you begin to look for funding. You can use the Calendar Index to identify which programs are still open. This index is arranged by student group (undergraduates and graduate students) and divided by month during which the deadline falls. Filing dates can and quite often do vary from year to year; consequently, the dates in this index should be viewed as only approximations after mid-2004.

HOW TO USE THE DIRECTORY Here are some tips to help you get the most out of the financial aid listings in RSP Funding for Engineering Students.

INTRODUCTION

To Locate Funding by Purpose. If you want to get an overall picture of the kind of funding that is available to support either undergraduates or graduate students in engineering, turn to the appropriate category in the first section of the guide and browse through the listings there. Originally, we also intended to subdivide these two chapters by purpose (study and training versus research and creative activities). Once the compilation was complete, however, it became clear that many of the programs provided funding for both functions. Thus, further subdivision (beyond educational level) would have been unnecessarily repetitious. To Find Information on a Particular Financial Aid Program. If you know the name and degree focus of a particular financial aid program, you can go directly to the appropriate category in the first section of the directory, where you’ll find program profiles listed alphabetically by title. To Locate Financial Aid Programs Sponsored by a Particular Organization. The Sponsoring Organization Index makes it easy to determine which groups are providing funding to undergraduate and graduate engineering students (nearly 400 are listed here), as well as to identify specific financial aid programs offered by a particular sponsor. Each entry number in the index is coded to indicate educational level (undergraduates and graduate students), to help you target appropriate entries. To Locate Financial Aid Based on Residency or Where You Want to Study/Conduct Your Research. Use the Residency Index to identify funding that has been set aside for engineering students in your area. If you are looking for funding to support activities in a particular city, county, state, or region, turn to the Tenability Index. Both of these indexes are subdivided by educational level (undergraduates and graduate students), to help you identify the funding that’s right for you. When using these indexes, always check the listings under the term “United States,” since the programs indexed there have no geographic restrictions and can be used in any area. To Locate Financial Aid for Study or Research in a Specific Engineering Specialty. Turn to the Specialty Index first if you are interested in identifying available funding in a specific area of engineering (more than three dozen different specialties are indexed there). As part of your search, be sure to check the listings in the index under the general “Engineering” heading; that term identifies programs supporting activities in any area of engineering (although they may be restricted in other ways). Each index entry indicates whether the funding is available to undergraduates or to graduate students. To Locate Financial Aid by Deadline Date. If you are working with specific time constraints and want to weed out financial aid programs whose filing dates you won’t be able to meet, turn first to the Calendar Index and check the program references listed under the appropriate group (undergraduates and graduate students) and month. Note: not all sponsoring organizations supplied deadline information, so not all programs are covered in this index. To identify every relevant financial aid program, regardless of filing dates, go to the first section and read through all the entries in the chapter that matches your degree level (undergraduates and graduate students).

PLANS TO UPDATE THE DIRECTORY This is the second biennial edition of RSP Funding for Engineering Students. The next edition will cover the years 2004-2006 and will be released in early 2004.

Sponsoring Organization Index The Sponsoring Organization Index makes it easy to identify agencies that offer the financial aid specifically to undergraduate and graduate students in engineering. In this index, the sponsoring organizations are listed alphabetically, word by word. In addition, we’ve used an alphabetical code (within parentheses) to help you identify the educational focus of the funding offered by the organizations: U = Undergraduates; G = Graduate Students. For example, if the name of a sponsoring organization is followed by (U) 241, a program sponsored by that organization is described in the Undergraduates section, in entry 241. If that sponsoring organization’s name is followed by another entry number—for example, (G) 590—the same or a different program sponsored by that organization is described in the Graduate Students section, in entry 590. Remember: the numbers cited here refer to program entry numbers, not to page numbers in the book.

Residency Index Some programs listed in this book are restricted to residents of a particular state or region. Others are open to applicants wherever they may live. The Residency Index will help you pinpoint programs available only to residents in your area as well as programs that have no residency restrictions at all (these are listed under the term “United States”). To use this index, look up the geographic areas that interest you (always check the listings under “United States”), jot down the entry numbers listed after the program category that applies to you (Undergraduates or Graduate Students), and use those numbers to find the program descriptions in the directory. To help you in your search, we’ve provided some “see also” references in each index entry. Remember: the numbers cited here refer to program entry numbers, not to page numbers in the book.

Engineering Specialty Index Use this index to access the more than three dozen different engineering specialties supported by the funding opportunities described in this directory. In addition to looking for terms representing the specialties that interest you, be sure to check the general “Engineering” entry; hundreds of programs are listed there that can be used to support study, training, research, and other activities in any engineering area (although the programs may be restricted in other ways). For your convenience, programs for either undergraduates or graduate students are clearly marked.

Calendar Index Since most financial aid programs have specific deadline dates, some may have already closed by the time you begin to look for funding. You can use the Calendar Index to identify which undergraduate or graduate level funding programs are still open. To do that, go to the educational category that applies to you, think about when you’ll be able to complete your application forms, go to the appropriate months, jot down the entry numbers listed there, and use those numbers to find the program descriptions in the directory. Keep in mind that the numbers cited here refer to program entry numbers, not to page numbers in the book. Note: not all sponsoring organizations supplied deadline information to us, so not all programs are listed in this index.
