UC Santa CruzNew Scholarships Available for Engineering Students
To support financially disadvantaged students and to encourage diversity, UCSC’s Jack Baskin School of Engineering offers several scholarship opportunities for undergraduates. Two of them — the National Science Foundation–supported ACCESS Scholarship for Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Students, and the Sony Scholarships for Computer Game Design Students — will begin in fall 2009. The ACCESS Scholarship program will award up to $10,000 per year for two years to financially disadvantaged students entering UC Santa Cruz at the freshman level. ACCESS scholars will also participate in an academic learning community, in which they will take courses together and live in the same residence hall. The six Sony Scholarships for Computer Game Design Students will award up to $10,000 each to eligible UCSC freshmen in the Computer Science: Computer Game Design major. The Amy Beth Snader Memorial Scholarship provides renewable awards of up to $4,000 a year for four years to recipients who continue to meet eligibility requirements. Though the Snader Scholarship was created in 1992 with the goal of encouraging more women to pursue engineering degrees at UC Santa Cruz, both male and female applicants will be considered.
