Objective
Northeastern University will support 14 engineering
students through an NSF Scholarships for STEM (S-STEM)
students grant. The Northeastern University program,
Investing in Tomorrow's Engineering Leaders (ITEL),
will support 14 engineering students as NU ITEL Scholars.
| ∙ |
Scholarships
will be awarded to eight incoming freshmen and six
community college transfer students (with a focus
on NU
STEP-UP partners). |
| ∙ |
Incoming
freshmen can receive up to $40,000 for up
to 8 semesters ($5,000 per full academic semester). |
| ∙ |
Transfer
students can receive up to $30,000 for up
to 6 semesters ($5,000 per full academic semester). |
Mission
To provide scholarships to traditionally under-represented
STEM students with a demonstrated financial need. This
population represents one of the largest, yet relatively
untapped sources of scientific/engineering talent that
can be drawn from to make progress in developing the
next generation of subsurface senssing and imaging systems.
