Full merit based scholarships for female engineers?

Paying for College
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I posted another thread asking about non-need scholarships..
my parents want me to learn to become independent.</p>

<p>Are there any good engineering colleges that offer a full/ almost
full Cost of Attendance Scholarship? I am planning to work part-time.</p>

<p>Are there any seperate scholarships not related to a specific university that is offered
to females that what to become engineers? </p>

<p>My GPA is around 3.6 Unweighted, and 4.2 Weighted.</p>

<p>Might be some ideas here:
The</a> Society of Women Engineers - The Society of Women Engineers</p>

<p>Oh, my goodness. There are lots for women in engineering. Go to the college you're interest in, go to the engineering or fin aid link, and they may have some there.</p>

<p>Under Marquette's engineering/scholarship link, we were thrilled to find many scholarship links, but saddened when most were for women. I have a son.</p>

<p>They weren't particular to Marquette, either, so maybe go their website for the link.</p>

<p>The Society of Women Engineers was definitely under there.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Also, if you are OK to consider some of the top named schools, there tend to me more full-ride scholarships (assuming you've got the ##'s to be considered for a merit scholarship). Case Western is one that comes to mind. You might check them out...</p>

<p>Start lining up your scholarship qualifications early - Freshman and Sophomore years. One needs to look good enough on paper that scholarship organization want to give you money.</p>

<p>For women interested in engineering, talk to your guidance counsel office about the Society of Women Engineering Certicate of Merit award for JUNIORS. One is nominated by a guidance councilor to the local section awards committee. If your school is not receiving nomination materials from SWE, track down the local chapter. If a student send a nice request the local SWE chapter might send the noomination papers to the school. After that one is in competetion with the other students at your school. Only one award is offered per school - deadline varies, but most are January and February. </p>

<p>Although I don't know of any direct correleation between SWE Junior/Merit Awards and SWE scholarships, it couldn't hurt to have any award on your Junior year transcript.</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>
