According to the U.S. Department of Labor, engineering is one of only twenty five occupations with “fast growth, high pay, and low employment.” The Department estimates that, in the next few years, there will be more than 1.5 million jobs in the field, with salaries for students graduating with a bachelor’s degree starting at more than $40,000 a year; for those with a master’s degree and no experience, nearly $50,000; and for those with a Ph.D., more than $60,000. Hundreds of financial aid programs, representing millions of dollars, are available to help students prepare for these jobs. How can you find out about these programs? Traditional financial aid directories don’t offer much assistance. For example, the landmark Scholarships, Fellowships, and Loans (published by Gale Group) and the eclectic Scholarship Book (published by Prentice-Hall) just begin to
scratch the surface. And the previously-issued subject-specific listings, Dollars for College: The Quick Guide to Financial Aid for Engineering (formerly published by Ferguson) and Financial Aid for Minorities in Engineering and Science (published last by Garrett Park Press), have ceased publication. That’s why this updated edition of RSP Funding for Engineering Students is so important. Now, in just one place, engineering students (along with the counselors and librarians trying to serve them) will have detailed information about the 700 scholarships, fellowships, awards, grants, forgivable loans, and other funding opportunities available specifically to them. The funding opportunities included in this directory have been carefully selected. Only the biggest and the best made the cut! Each entry is worth at least $1,000 (many award up to $25,000 or pay full tuition). And, not one of these programs requires you to pay back any money (provided, of course, that you meet the program requirements). RSP Funding for Engineering Students has been designed so that you can easily scan through a wide
array of funding programs set aside specifically to support study, research, creative activities, past accomplishments, future projects, and travel for both undergraduate and graduate engineering students. You’ll find all areas of engineering are covered, ranging from general practice to acoustical, agricultural, automotive, chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, industrial, mechanical, nuclear, structural, and many others.
