Merit scholarship: strategies & opportunities

What is a merit scholarship

Merit scholarships are a type of gift aid that help pay for college by rewarding talent. Most merit based scholarships go to students who stand out with strong academics. Recipients of a merit scholarship may be high academic achievers or have strong athletic, artistic or other skills and values. Eligible students must also show a desire to serve the community or leadership skills.
Some merit scholarships also may look at financial need. But most of the time accomplishments and academic excellence are the primary factors to win a scholarship. Check out more details here.

Engineering Scholarships

Engineering students seek financial aid from conventional sources like stalwart federal programs: Pell Grants and Direct Student Loans, but additional financial assistance is often required to meet the costs of higher education.  State-specific financial aid helps bridge the affordability gap for college students across the country; including engineering majors.  And privately funded education initiatives from corporations and industry groups provide career-specific college tuition aid.
Who you are, and where you go to school are relevant financial aid concerns, but what you study is equally important.  STEM subjects – those relating to science, technology, engineering and math – provide fertile ground for targeted career-centric student aid. Grants and scholarships for the best and brightest talent drive these forward-thinking fields.  Engineering scholarships are usually tied to academic performance, but other applicant characteristics are also used to determine who earns the awards.  Your background, location, civic engagement, marital status, and a host of other factors can be used to open financial aid doors within engineering education.
