New Scholarship

The Georgia Engineering Foundation awards college scholarships to worthy Georgia students who are preparing for a career in engineering or engineering technology.  In 2010, GEF was able to support more than 40 scholarship awards, and we are asking you to assist in communicating this opportunity to your qualified seniors.  Qualified students can visit our website at www.GEFinc.org for information and an application.        

All scholarships are competitively awarded based on the student’s demonstrated competence in mathematics, science and communication skills, the student’s interest in a career in engineering, financial need, and their school and community involvement.  To apply, a student must be: 1) a U.S. Citizen; 2) a resident of Georgia; and 3) enrolled in an engineering or engineering technology ABET-accredited program leading to a 4-year degree as of September 2011.  Applicants include “incoming” college freshmen that plan to attend ABET accredited programs in 2011.  Information regarding ABET accredited programs may be found at http://www.abet.org.  Other criteria may apply for some of the specific scholarships.
