CEPS-Tyco Scholarship for top engineering and physical science students

The University of New Hampshire and Tyco International have created the CEPS-Tyco Scholarship, a scholarship for selected students admitted to the University’s College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS).

A full four-year scholarship
Awarded to one high school senior each year, this four-year scholarship provides full payment of tuition, fees, and room and board for the four years of undergraduate education at UNH. Includes potential support for independent research opportunities.

Criteria for eligibility
Students who wish to be considered for the scholarship must present credentials that reflect outstanding academic achievement and promise.

These include:

• Rigorous programs of study including a minimum of five years of mathematics and four years of science, with preference given to Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Courses.
• Grades that indicate excellence.
• Class rank in the top 10 percent (for students attending schools that provide class rank) or equivalent.
• SAT Reasoning Test scores of 1310+ (Critical Reading and Math only) or a 30+ composite on the ACT with writing test.
  

Apply for Scholarship
Candidates for this scholarship enter a two-stage selection process.

1.To ensure full consideration, the following materials must be received by November 15, UNH's early action deadline:

• Application for admission to a major within the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of New Hampshire. Eligible majors
  
• Official high school transcripts, including the first marking period of senior year.
  
• Official test scores for either the SAT Reasoning Test or ACT with writing test.
  

2. Submit an additional scholarship essay through the online form, due by no later than January 18.

Students selected as CEPS-Tyco finalists will also receive consideration for the Whelen Scholarship. The College of Engineering and Physical Science anticipates having two, $10,000 per year awards from this scholarship fund.
