Financial need is a consideration. Pink application forms are available after February 1 each year and are due by spring break. The assistantships were created to enable female engineering students to learn more about specific areas of technology and science and to acquaint them with the graduate student experience. Three female students are selected each year by a committee appointed by the dean. Students interested in an assistantship may contact a faculty member to discuss a possible project.
Proposals including an orange application form are due in the dean's office by spring break.
Burns-McDonnell Engineering Scholarship is for a junior in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, architectural engineering or civil engineering who is interested in the consultant engineering field. Financial need is considered but is not a requirement. Blue application forms are available in the dean's office after February 1 and are due by spring break. Triangle Fraternity members who have at least a 3.0 grade point average are encouraged to apply for Merit scholarships because one of the scholarships funds gives preference to members of Triangle. Waldo Bowman Scholarship Fund gives preference to students who participate in the Kansas Engineer magazine.
