Each year, the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to incoming and current students. These scholarships may total up to $1,000 per year for up to four years, and they can supplement state and university-level scholarships. Here's some good news – students don't have to fill out many forms to apply for scholarships. By completing one general scholarship application, the college will consider the student for all merit scholarships for which the student is eligible, with the exception of a few scholarships requiring separate application.
Incoming Freshmen
Incoming freshman are considered for scholarships based upon merit indicators including high school GPA and SAT/ACT scores. Scholarship decisions are generally made by the beginning of May for Fall awards.

Current and Transfer Students
