The Undergraduate Computer Engineering Program
Undergraduate Scholarship Information
Computer Engineering students are eligible for several different scholarships. Most of these are awarded through either the School of Computing or the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Recipients are selected based upon academic performance, rather than financial need. Most are awarded to CE full majors or those students who will become full majors during the following academic year. The following scholarships are available:
School of Computing Scholarships
A few tuition and cash awards are given to Computer Science and Computer Engineering majors each year. Tuition scholarships are available only to Utah residents and cover up to 18 credit hours of resident tuition for two semesters; to be eligible, students must take at least 12 credit hours per semester.
Cash scholarships are available to all CE majors and range in value from $500 to $3,000. They are made possible by generous donations from the School of Computing faculty, the Eccles Foundation, Kiri Wagstaff, and others. To be eligible, students must take at least 9 credit hours per semester.
Applications for these scholarships are available on the web at http://www.cs.utah.edu/students/undergradinfo.shtml or from the School of Computing office (MEB 3190). They must be submitted to the School's office by March 1 of the preceding year.
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Scholarships
A few tuition and cash awards are given to Computer Engineering majors each year. Tuition scholarships are available only to Utah residents and cover up to 18 credit hours of resident tuition for two semesters. Cash scholarships are available to all CE majors and range in value from $500 to $4,000; they are made possible by generous donations from the Micron Technology Foundation and others. To be eligible for any of these awards, students must take at least 12 credit hours per semester.
Applications for these scholarships are available from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering office (MEB 3280). They must be submitted to that office by February 15 of the preceding year.
The College of Engineering also awards several scholarships (Kennecott, Ariel Berrier, Simon Ramo, and others) to the top students in the college. Students may also apply for financial aid from the College, which each year awards a number of Josephine Beam Educational Scholarships. These are worth approximately $500 and are based on need. Information and applications are available on the web at http://www.coe.utah.edu/current-undergrad/scholarships.php or from the Office of the Dean of Engineering (Kenn 214). Applications must be submitted by February 15 of the preceding year.
