There are over 90 DeVry campuses throughout the US and Canada. Application deadline is 5/1/09.

  • Purdue University/BAE Systems has added an additional $10,000 scholarship to their offering. They now are offering three scholarships, one for $15,000 and two for $10,000, payable over four years. (This is a correction to last month’s announcement.) The application deadline has been extended to 3/1/2009.
  • Purdue University-Computer Science - The application deadline has been extended to 4/1/2009.
  • University of Arizona/BAE Systems has added another scholarship and will now award two (2) scholarships for $2,500/year. Application deadline is 4/30/2009.
  • University of New Hampshire/BAE Systems has added another scholarship and will now award two (2) scholarships for $2,500/year. Application deadline is 3/1/2009.
Scholarship Advice
  • Remember that some scholarships go unawarded because no one applies for them. If you fit the eligibility requirements for a scholarship, go for it!
  • Pay attention to those application deadline dates. There are close to 50 scholarships whose applications are due during the next month.
What if you have just missed the application deadline date? Call the school or organization and ask if they will accept a late application. Some schools will accept applications even after the deadline date. It certainly can’t hurt to ask!

Go Teams!

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/2009 FIRST Scholarship News - February Update

All too many of these scholarships say "engineering or engineering technology"; would I be correct in assuming that computer science does not fall under this category? I guess even if it is included, since the school I'm going to doesn't technically have an engineering program... that excludes these.

Ah, yes, this is true. I usually forget such approaches... If I find information, I will share it here.
