Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering are very exciting fields to be in today. They use chemistry, mathematics, and creativity to solve important societal problems, from developing new pharmaceuticals safely and efficiently to creating clean and inexpensive fuels for energy conservation and pollution prevention. Our graduates also work in broad areas from extracting of valuable minerals and metals from ores, to the production of steel, to the development and fabrication of pure metals, alloys, ceramics, electronic materials, and biomaterials. Materials Engineers are experts in the connections between the structure, processing, properties, and performance of materials.
This a great time to join these vibrant and exciting fields. Below is some basic information about scholarships we have available and also check this site periodically for updates.
Scholarship Programs
The E-Scholars program is designed to provide financial, academic, and professional development support for academically talented students from underrepresented groups in Nevada with financial need to study energy engineering.
The program will provide approximately $600,000 in scholarships, academic support, and professional development to help prepare students for engineering jobs in tomorrow’s renewable energy workforce. Approximately 20 scholarships, averaging $6,500 per year will be awarded over the 2010-2014 time period.
