High School Seniors - for the Freshman Year

Two types of scholarships are available through this program:

SAE Engineering Scholarships: SAE Foundation
Through generous contributions from various individuals, corporations and universities, SAE International is proud to award scholarship money to both undergraduate and graduate engineering students. SAE scholarships assist in developing the future engineering workforce by helping students achieve their dreams of becoming an engineer.

Funded through the SAE Foundation, these scholarships encourage academic excellence and help students around the world to pursue their passion for engineering.

University-Sponsored SAE Engineering Scholarships
In addition to the other endowed scholarships offered by SAE, many engineering colleges and universities have chosen to offer their own scholarship through SAE International. These scholarships are sponsored by the participating universities and colleges, and range in value from $400 to full tuition.

Criteria are established and all applications are judged by the universities. The applicant must apply to and attend the named university. Once awarded, these scholarships are not transferable to another university.

Application for a university sponsored scholarship does not constitute application for admission to the college or university. All sponsored scholarships are contingent upon the student's enrollment in an accredited engineering curriculum. The student is responsible for making application for admission to the college or university. If application to the school is not made before January 15, the application will be disqualified.

Selection and Notification of SAE Engineering Scholarships:
Recipients will notified by June. A list of all recipients of the SAE Scholarships and Loan Program will be posted online in July.
