The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Chesapeake Post is offering scholarships to assist college students who are pursuing careers in STEM fields: engineering, architecture, mathematics, technology, computer, or related science (chemistry, biology, physics) degree programs. (Health sciences are not included.) Awards are made on an annual basis and can range from $500 to $1000 per recipient. Students enrolling full-time as a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior in college for academic year 2024-2025 can apply.
Former/current recipients must reapply; however, an essay is NOT required. An essay is required for all new applicants or prior applicants who have never received an award. Students who are receiving a full-tuition scholarship (e.g., Science Mathematics and Research for Transformation, US Service Academies) are NOT eligible for a Chesapeake Post scholarship; however, we encourage your continued participation for the mentorship and networking provided by the post.
Process: Interested students must submit a completed application no later than Wednesday 4:00 PM; 17 April 2024.
In 2023, the Chesapeake Post provided STEM scholarships to 10 students from Harford and Cecil Counties in Maryland. Awardees are offered mentors to assist them with summer internships, grad school and professional employment following graduation. Click here to download the scholarship application.
