School Year 2013-2014 Scholarship Information
The
Society of American Military Engineers (SAME), Hampton Roads Post intends to
award multiple $500 - $2,000 scholarships to Engineering, Architecture,
Interior Design and Construction Management Students for the 2013-2014 school
year.
Applicants
must be enrolled, or planning to enroll, in a full-time undergraduate
Engineering, Architecture, Interior Design or Construction Management degree
program at an accredited college or university in the fall term of 2013. Applicants who have earned an undergraduate
degree or who are enrolled in a graduate degree program are not eligible. All applicants must also have a minimum GPA of
3.0 (on a 4.0 basis) to be eligible to apply. The minimum GPA requirement applies to both
high school and college students. No
scholarship will be awarded for those pursuing an associate; second
undergraduate or graduate school degree. Students attending a community or junior
college must be enrolled in a program of studies designed to allow the student
to transfer directly into a four-year program. Applicants who receive an appointment to one
of the U.S. Military Academies (or affiliated preparatory schools) or are
awarded a full scholarship at any accredited U.S. post-secondary institution of
higher education are not eligible to receive funds from this program. A full scholarship is usually defined as one
that provides for payment of tuition, books, lab fees, and other related
expenses. An ROTC scholarship is
considered a full scholarship.
There is
no requirement for the student or parent to be part of a SAME Post. However, preference will be given to students
who are members of a SAME Student Post or whose parents, guardians, or sponsors
are members of SAME. Sponsors must provide a letter of recommendation as part
of the application package. For a list
of sustaining member companies, and student SAME applications please refer to
our website (http://posts.same.org/hamptonroads/).
Our intent is to target scholarship awards to Hampton Roads high school
students and college students attending College / Universities throughout
Virginia; however this is not a requirement and The Post reserves the right to
offer scholarships to any qualified candidates.
