TROY, MI--(Marketwire - March 31, 2009) - Engineering students looking for help with college
costs can apply for Kelly Engineering Resources' seventh annual "Future
Engineers Scholarship." The $5,000 scholarship award is presented to one
student in recognition of his/her outstanding academic performance and
depth of knowledge about the issue or challenge addressed in their essay.
All sophomore- and junior-level college engineering students who meet the
program criteria are invited to compete for the scholarship by submitting
an essay on a designated, contemporary engineering topic. To date, Kelly
Engineering Resources has provided more than $30,000 in scholarship funds
to college students.
In January 2010, the student with the winning essay will be presented a
$5,000 scholarship check to be used toward eligible expense for tuition,
fees, books, and room and board during the 2010 calendar year.
Submission materials, guidelines and this year's essay question are
available at www.kellyengineering.com/scholarships. The deadline for
submissions is October 15, 2009.
The Future Engineers Scholarship program was developed to encourage student
interest in a career in engineering, to foster excellence in the
engineering field, and to help alleviate a critical current and future
shortage of highly qualified engineers.
The eight judges for the 2010 Future Engineers Scholarship program are:
David Wagman, editor, Power Engineering Magazine; Leslie Smith, director of
programs, The Engineering Society of Detroit; Elizabeth Waizel, director of
engineering, The Dow Chemical Company; Tim Pasternak, director, renal
solution product support, Baxter Healthcare; Larry Ciba, director, Wyeth
Pharmaceuticals; Eric Swain, editor in chief, MD&DI, and Jocelyn E. Scott,
vice president, engineering and facilities services, DuPont.
