Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers

Financial need is a primary reason why Hispanic students do not complete a bachelor’s degree. So SHPE offers thousands of reasons to ensure their members DO reach graduation – over a million to be exact. With 245 scholarships totaling over $1,000,000 awarded last year, SHPE is actively narrowing the gap in the Hispanic STEM education pipeline.

ScholarSHPE provides opportunities for:

• Graduating high school seniors beginning a STEM undergraduate career at a community college or 4-year university.
• Undergraduate students pursuing a degree in STEM at any stage of their undergraduate career. Students must be enrolled full-time at a community college or 4-year university.
• Students or professionals pursuing technical certificates or graduate-level professional education that increase their professional competencies with select institutions.
• Graduate students pursuing a master’s or doctoral STEM degree program at an accredited university.
