Engineering Scholarships

The Bechtel Undergraduate Fellowship Award is financial support program that encourages and recognizes high academic achievement of students interested in pursuing a corporate career in a construction-related engineering discipline. The award is accompanied by internship and mentoring opportunities. Two students are selected in their junior year. The recipients are awarded $2,500 each for up to two years. The minimum grade point average required is 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.

NACME is responsible for more than $4 million in scholarships awarded annually to underrepresented minority students. Through the NACME Scholars Program, NACME provides block grants to colleges and universities that, in turn, give the money to talented African American, American Indian, and Latino students enrolled in engineering programs as part of their financial aid packages.The program was created to achieve the following goals: * Provide financial support to minority engineering students who have demonstrated financial need. * Leverage NACME’s partnerships with academic institutions to increase the retention-to-graduation rate of all minority engineering students enrolled at those schools. * Increase the capacity and capability of academic partner institutions to recruit, admit, retain, educate, and graduate minority engineering students. Student EligibilityTo be eligible students must enroll in an engineering program at a partner university, maintain a minimum required GPA (varying from 2.5 – 2.8); and register for NACME’s student online resume directory.University EligibilityAcademic institutions that wish to participate in the NACME Scholars program must demonstrate a commitment to minority student success that is evidenced in their recruitment, admission, retention, and graduation of African American, American Indian, and Latino engineering students.

NACME's Company-Affiliated Partners Scholarship (CAPS) program is designed as a complement to the NACME Scholars Program -- the centerpiece of our student support strategy. It is a direct response to inquiries from companies eager to support minority engineering undergraduates at institutions where NACME is currently not a partner.This program is a fee-based scholarship management service in which a corporation underwrites part of the annual tuition and fees of African American, Latino, or American Indian students admitted for engineering study at the baccalaureate level. The sponsoring company can stipulate how the resources shall be distributed and over what duration, subject to approval by NACME and the enrolling institution.The resulting “NACME-company Scholars” shall be so designated and publicized. Performance requirements, i.e., basic academic and financial data, will be reported annually to NACME, who in turn, will issue a report to the company donor on the progress of the Scholars in the context of national enrollment, retention, and graduation trends.CAPS is not a capacity-building program like the NACME Scholars Program. Since the company is investing in the institution of its choice, typically for reasons of geography and disciplinary specialization, NACME is simply facilitating the process on behalf of the company. While the institution’s capability to support student success may be unknown, NACME is prepared to help the recipient institution develop the mechanisms that contribute to success. NACME is organized to create efficiencies in program administration and fiscal management. Our data management system is a secured, transaction-oriented website that allows for efficient and useful monitoring, analysis, and feedback for the client while focusing on the individual student participants.NACME scholarship management service currently administers and supports: * Alfred P. Sloan Minority Ph.D. program, providing application review/selection and confirmation, award notification, disbursement of payments, and data management at over 30 institutions.
