<p>everything seems to be given to females and minorities.</p>
<p>are there any for white guys?</p>
<p>Thanks, Jack, for the post. I've been wondering this myself. </p>
<p>BTW, love your screen name. You and my son and my husband would be best buds.</p>
<p>Also, I heard about some program where you major in computers and the NSA pays your tuition and you work for them. Kind of like the programs offered by the military, maybe? </p>
<p>Based on your screen name, thought I'd share that info would you.</p>
<p>Good luck and keep us posted!</p>
<p>Have you looked into the FIRST Robotics scholarships? If you're a member of a FIRST Robotics team, you're eligible to apply.</p>

<p>There are also a number of Physics scholarships here:
Astromiror:</a> Student Opportunities</p>
<p>Look at the financial aid page of colleges that interest you: some of them have specific engineering scholarships listed there as well.</p>
<p>Don't let the Women in Aviation International sponsorship fool you:
Women</a> in Aviation, International 2009 Scholarships</p>
<p>Straightforward</a> Media Engineering Scholarships</p>
<p>SAE</a> Scholarships</p>
<p>American</a> Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Scholarships</p>
<p>My research has been primarily into AE scholarships, as you can tell. But some of the links will include other engineering disciplines.</p>
<p>And as others have said, engineering schools will have links to their own as well as outside scholarships for engineering majors.</p>
<p>jack-
Our family has been searching for those scholarships for going on four years. You are right, the majority of engineering scholarships target women and minorities. It actually surprised me that in most cases very large corporations offer their engineering scholarships to just about everyone but white males. </p>
<p>We have found a few that S could apply to, but most were through his university after his freshman year. One thing to do is check to see if your parent's employer(s) offer scholarships to employees children. (These scholarships would be open to any major.) Also, check the professional society of your engineering major. These societies often (but not always) require need and/or student membership in their society.</p>
<p>Thanks for the post.</p>
<p>Husband works for Lockheed. Used to be that child had to be NM to get one, but now they're expanding it. We fear he missed the NM, but should definitely be commended. Say a prayer for us. It's for 3K, and would help out with room, board, travel.</p>
<p>I did notice the link on some college's engineering sites to scholarships that are available after freshman year, so we'll definitely be applying for those.</p>
<p>Thanks also for the advice on the professional societies. Will definitely look into that one.</p>
<p>FYI:
Most of the Women in Aviation scholarships are actually for women only, or for future pilots/professions other than engineering, at least as far as i can tell.
SAE deadline has already passed.
AIAA scholarships and most of the Astromiror scholarships are for current college students.</p>
<p>but thanks so far, its a good starting point.</p>
<p>as a suggestion, consider Navy ROTC, the Navy only wants technical majors, so if you have the grades and test scores, along with some good leadership EC's, , some varsity sports letters, etc... you stand a good chance of getting all of your tution paid for for 4 years. It is a 3 step process, need to apply for the scholarship, then get accepted by the school, then last part, get accpeted by your top choice's NROTC unit, the more presigious schools are harding to get in to.</p>
<p>Navy ROTC is at MIT, Notre Dame, Cornell, Northwestern, Duke,etc....</p>
<p>I was Navy ROTC and engineering, went into the Marines.</p>
<p>But only do this if you are realy interested in the military. But if you go nuke Navy, it is very good training. a 4 year committment.</p>
