Additional information:
Students can receive scholarships for up to $10,000 per year. Scholarship recipients will
be supported for additional years as long as their total award does not exceed $40,000
and their academic performance remains satisfactory. S-STEM scholarship support will
be discontinued if the scholar transfers out of a College of Engineering major program,
the scholar is not making significant progress through the engineering major curriculum,
when the S-STEM project ends, or the scholar's academic performance falters.
 
Recipients whose grade point average falls below 3.0 will enter a probationary period
for one semester and be required to use extra advising and reapply once grades
improve to a GPA of 3.0. If the student's cumulative grade point average falls below
2.75, they will lose their eligibility for an award in the following semester and until their
grades improve.
 
Continuing scholars will complete an annual re-application process through which the
scholarship administrator will evaluate their academic progress and continued alignment
with programmatic priorities (engagement, personal and professional development,
participation in cohort activities, etc.).  
 
Engineering Academic Pathways is sponsored by the NSF Scholarships in
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program (S-STEM).
