Last time I checked (5 minutes ago), it was mostly science-technology based, and for specific schools for the most part. 5 million dollars or not, the scholarships are worthless unless they're filled. I don't know what the exact coorelation is, but maybe there should be some research on the normal costs of these schools, the average income of the towns that the students who are encouraged to apply come from, and what kind of a dent the scholarships actually do.

There are some engineer-major specific scholarships, but there are others that just require you to have been on a FIRST Robotics Team. However, as you mentioned, the engineer-specific scholarships seem to be worth a lot more (like full tuition) than other general ones.
