The Kathy M. Lynn ’79 Scholarship was endowed by Ms. Kathy Lynn in 2015 to provide scholarships for juniors who are members of the Society of Women Engineers and have maintained a 3.5 GPA or higher.
Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate and Graduate Scholarships
These funds directly support our students by providing scholarships and fellowships through a competitive process.
Mechanical Engineering Excellence Fund

To provide a truly impactful learning experience to our students, we must be able to venture outside of the classroom. In order to provide meaningful content, the student development fund can be utilized for study abroad opportunities, emergency scholarships, bring in esteemed guest lecturers or public speakers and ensure that student groups have financial means to attend national conferences and competitions.
Mechanical Engineering Advancement Fund/Industry Advisory Council Fund
The Mechanical Engineering Advancement/Industry Advisory Council Fund provides support to recruit and retain the best faculty and students through faculty fellowships, endowed undergraduate scholarships, department head strategic initiatives and faculty and staff recognition and support
