<p>Does anybody know of merit scholarships that are available to current students? How can we find this information?</p>
<p>When my daughter was visiting Ohio State's Engineering dept., they told us there were departmental merit scholarships available for sophomores thru seniors, more than for freshmen.</p>
<p>I'd ask around at Pitt's School of Engineering.</p>
<p>Thanks chrisd. I was looking around the website, but didn't find anything on the subject. So far, DS has all A's (knock on wood!). I guess alot of kids do, though. I wonder if there are some private scholarships that apply to college students? I got alot of inapplicable ones from that online scholarship search.</p>
<p>How about SAE, Society of Automotive Engineers? Any sort of professional group that supports an area your son may be interested or excell in is a good place to check. </p>
<p>Also, if there's any sort of professional engineers' society in your area, check w/ them. My D received a scholarship as part of the local engineers' "E Week," which I think is a nat'l engineers' event in March.</p>
<p>Great ideas, I'll definitely check into it and also have my son check in the engineering office at school.</p>
