Many corporations partner with the MEP to provide scholarship funds and opportunities for students to obtain summer work experience or cooperative education assignments. All corporate scholarships are based on academic achievement in the College of Engineering. Students become eligible for corporate scholarships after completing their first semester in engineering. Eligible students will be notified of scholarship opportunities and requested to complete any necessary forms. If you are in that category, be sure to check with the schools of interest.
Technical enhancement is also very important to potential employers.
Therefore, an advanced degree in science or engineering should be considered. We therefore encourage you to take the examination in the spring of your junior year. The test is available via computer at selected sites and can be taken at various times depending upon your location. The UIUC has a site in Student Services. Seek out fellowship opportunities as a means of funding graduate study.
