This is a LAST MINUTE NOTICE in case you are putting together nominations / applications for the ASME/FIRST Scholarship. We're seeing some common concerns/questions coming in, so thought we'd send reminder, in case you are working on these in the next few days.....

As you know, the postmark deadline is Friday March 1, and we are offering SEVEN $5K scholarships to students (graduating seniors) planning to pursue Mechanical Engineering (ME) or Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET).

(1) Please remember, all nominators MUST be members of ASME - the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. That is NOT the same as SME - the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and NOT everyone who has received an SME-FIRST Card.

If you're still looking for members in your area, ASME Regional offices and leaders can be contacted via:
http://www.asme.org/regions/regionmap.html

Information on ASME Membership can be found at 1-800-THE ASME, or at infocentral@asme.org, or at: http://www.asme.org/member/info.html


(2) Please make sure you follow the application information and use forms from our website:

with forms downloadable at:

Any other questions, please contact me (by reply) or Theresa Oluwanifise at oluwanifiset@asme.org.

Looking forward to your applications, and good luck with the regional and national Competitions!!
