TRYENGINEERING SCHOLARSHIP INFO

The TryEngineering Summer Institute Scholarship is a need-based scholarship that offers financial assistance to students interested in attending the TryEngineering Summer Institute.

There are a limited number of full and partial scholarships for each location.

  • A full scholarship is the equivalent to full tuition.
  • A partial scholarship is the equivalent to 50% off the tuition cost.

The scholarship may only be applied towards the reduction of Summer Institute tuition for the year of application.  It cannot be used towards related expenses such as, but not limited to, travel and purchase of individual Summer Institute supplies incurred before, during or after attendance. 

If the student is selected, the scholarship will be applied directly to the student’s tuition balance.  The scholarship is not tax deductible.
