Awards and Scholarships
First of all let us understand the meaning of awards & scholarships in true sense:
Award
-
Definition:
-
Financial support based on achievement, performance, or
other criteria. The grantor does not specifically state that the money should be
used for educational expenses.
-
Example:
- Departments and schools
honor students at award ceremonies held at the end of an academic year. Certificates
are typically given to students at that time.
Prize
-
Definition:
-
Recognition based on competition or other
criteria.
-
Example:
-
A competition is held and prizes for 1st,
2nd, and 3rd places are awarded to students.
Scholarship
-
Definition:
-
Financial support based on academic
achievement or other criteria that may include financial need. The donor of the
scholarship sets the criteria for recipient selection. The grantor specifically
intends money be spent to defray the costs of study, training, or research. Proceeds
of the scholarship offset the cost of the student's education for an upcoming or
current academic year, depending on when the student receives the funds.
-
Example:
-
Departments,
schools, or the Division of Financial Aid select recipients based on the criteria
of the scholarship agreement (major, grade level, grade point average, financial
need, or a combination other restrictive criteria). Credit for the scholarship is
reflected on the student's invoice for tuition/fees and/or housing.
The Engineers Academy is committed to promoting and advancing the engineering profession.
To demonstrate this commitment, the Engineers Academy and its units provide more
than Rs. 30,000 annually for study in a bachelor's degree in engineering through
AMIE. Explore the Engineers Academy Office or Engineers Academy website.
Three major factors are considered in awarding these scholarships:
a) Academic excellence
b) Leadership and
c) Evidence of commitment to a career in engineering.
