CEPS Industry Scholarships

The University of New Hampshire has partnered with Whelen Engineering Companies, Inc. and Tyco International to create two undergraduate scholarships to recognize excellence in first-year students entering the University’s College of Engineering & Physical Sciences (CEPS).

Each scholarship covers a significant portion of a student’s tuition, fees, and room & board for four years of undergraduate education at UNH. The scholarship could also potentially provide  financial 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 program of study including a minimum of 5 years of mathematics and 4 years of science, with preference given to Pre-Engineering Programs, Advanced Placement, and International Baccalaureate courses
  • Grades that indicate excellence
  • Class rank in the top 10 percent (for schools that provide class rank) or equivalent
  •  SAT Reasoning Test score of typically 1900, or higher; or a composite ACT score of 30, or higher.

    • To Apply
    Candidates must submit all materials requested below by the noted deadline. Finalists will be selected by the College of Engineering & Physical Sciences and invited to participate in interviews to be conducted on the UNH campus the last weekend of February. Applicants will be notified of the results by mid-March.

    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 & Physical Sciences
  • Official high school transcripts, including first term grades senior year
  • Official test scores for either the SAT or ACT
  • Submit an additional scholarship essay through the online form, by January 15, 2010
  • Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the first week in February
