Civil Engineering is constantly searching for new sources of scholarships. Currently, the Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Department has the largest amount of funded scholarships within the College of Engineering and Mines. Our scholarship portfolio currently holds eight (8) departmental endowments and three (3) shared endowments (shared with other departments). Our goal is to increase the market value of our endowments to $1 million by the end of this century so that we may support more students. Additionally, this department also receives several other annually funded scholarships to award outstanding students, freshman to graduate status. Following is a list of the scholarship criteria and the awards made for the academic year 2009-2010. This is a list of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanic Scholarships only and does not include financial aid received from other sources.
