Â鶹´«Ã½

The Mechanical and Aerospace Merit Scholarship is a $1000 per semester scholarship. The objectives of MAE merit scholarships are:

1. To attract meritorious Â鶹´«Ã½s into mechanical and aerospace engineering undergraduate programs.
2. To retain and encourage the Â鶹´«Ã½s with excellent academic performance in these programs.

The funds for these scholarships were obtained from the differential tuition which was implemented at the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences in January 2013.

Criteria

To be eligible, the applicant must satisfy the following criteria:

1. Enrolled in the mechanical or aerospace engineering program prior to the final award of the scholarship. Undecided pre-engineering Â鶹´«Ã½s qualify as long as they become enrolled in the mechanical or aerospace engineering program prior to the final award.
2. Sophomore, junior or senior standing as of the fall semester following the submission deadline.
3.  A minimum GPA of 3.0 at the time of application.
4. Not have full WMU scholarship funding.

Additional scholarship for accelerated degree Â鶹´«Ã½s

Award details

1. Applications will be collected only once per year.
2. Scholarships will be given for fall and spring semesters of the year following the submission deadline. No need to reapply for the following spring semester.
3. Students must re-apply every year.
4. The number of scholarships will depend on the total funds available. The total amount of scholarship dollars awarded within each program should be approximately proportional to the number of Â鶹´«Ã½s enrolled in that program.

Application

Application deadline is February 7.

Students may be considered for the scholarship by completing the scholarship application form on WMU's Scholarship Universe.

1. Endorsement of the application from a MAE faculty member is preferred, or a science or math professor if you have not taken a MAE course yet.
2. Transfer credits can also be counted while making the decision. International Â鶹´«Ã½s on twinning programs will have to provide copies of their academic transcripts.
3. Endorsements for transfer Â鶹´«Ã½s may be from faculty at the previous institution.
4. No separate recommendation letter required.

The Lewis M. Yost Scholarship is awarded twice annually (fall and spring semesters) to assist mechanical engineering Â鶹´«Ã½s with competitive projects. Awards of up to $500 are given to individual Â鶹´«Ã½s to support their work on projects aimed at Â鶹´«Ã½ competitions.

Guidelines:

• Applicant must be in the mechanical engineering undergraduate major
• Application must designate a competitive Â鶹´«Ã½ project (e.g. SAE, Baja, Solar car, ASME project competition, etc.) toward which the award will be applied
• The funds must be used for project-related expenses (e.g. supplies, equipment, project-related travel)
• Students can re-apply each semester as long as they are eligible
• Number of awards depends on the amount available each semester

The fall semester application deadline is September 30.

The spring semester application deadline is February 7.
