Scholarship
Award Process for Current Students
Scholarship Opportunities
for Continuing Students
The Department of Chemical Engineering plays an instrumental role in
awarding and in making nominations for scholarships each year for continuing
Chemical Engineering undergraduate students. Currently enrolled UT Chemical
Engineering students who intend to continue their education in Chemical
Engineering may apply for scholarships each year in January for monies
to be distributed the following year.
Application is made online via the College of Engineering scholarship
application at https://utdirect.utexas.edu/engine/scholarship/.
Completing this application means you will be reviewed for all recurring
Engineering College scholarships being offered from companies, foundations
and endowments. You will also be reviewed for Department of Chemical Engineering
scholarships funded directly through the Department.
Scholarships are highly competitive, so working hard in your classes
and participating in service and professional organizations
will greatly improve your scholarship awards. In filling out the scholarship
application,
paying attention to details and deadlines will further
increase your chances of scholarship monies to help with your schooling.
There are some scholarships
that are decided from outside UT and must be applied for
on a separate application, usually handled through the College of Engineering.
Frequently
checking the bulletin board outside the Chemical Engineering
Undergraduate Office under the Scholarship category will keep you informed
of these
additional opportunities. Good luck!
Chemical Engineering
students interested in qualifying for scholarship monies
should carefully note the following points.
• Applicants are required to have a GPA of 3.2 or greater to
be considered for almost all scholarships.
• The College deadline for application is February 1. The Department
of Chemical Engineering deadline is February 15.
• Applications are retained online, but must be updated thoroughly
each year by the deadline date to be considered for
the next year's scholarship monies.
• Financial information must be disclosed to be considered for
almost all scholarships. Be accurate.
• On the application, when asked about scholarship money, current
and for the next year, you are expected to disclose
accurately and fully.
• On the application, when asked about scholarship money for
the NEXT year be extremely careful not to list money being received
for the
current year that does not continue for the next. Read
award letters carefully and keep track of what scholarships you receive.
• If you have any special circumstances to be considered, please
write them down in the notes section at the end of
the application.
• Be sure to state any career interests you have in the appropriate
section.
