Application for the NSF S‐STEM Scholarship The National Science Foundation (NSF) granted the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seattle University funds to award scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students entering their junior year who plan to transfer to SU to pursue a BSEE degree. The scholarship is up to $10,000 per year. The scholarship will augment rather than replace any financial aid offered to the student by the university. Eligibility An applicant must meet the following requirements for scholarship consideration:  Enroll full time at SU (12 or more credits per quarter, across three quarters in an academic year).  Declare Electrical Engineering as his/her major.  Hold US Citizenship or permanent residency.  Transfer courses equivalent to: – MATH 134 ‐ Calculus I, and MATH 135 ‐ Calculus II – PHYS 121 ‐ Mechanics, and PHYS 122 ‐ Electricity and Magnetism – ECEGR 210 ‐ Circuits I  Have a cumulative transfer GPA of 3.0 or above.  Have an unmet financial need (determined by standard cost of attendance, minus expected family contribution, minus non‐work‐study and non‐loan aid). The ECE department will offer scholarship recipients enrichment and support activities to smoothly transition into the SU environment and succeed academically. These activities include tutoring in junior level ECE courses, peer mentoring, study partner program, industrial mentorship, professional development seminars, a graduate school seminar and social activities. NSF requires the department to gather data to evaluate the effectiveness of our enrichment and support activities. Scholarship recipients will be required to participate in surveys or other means to help gather such data, led by an evaluator, external to the university. Continued Eligibility At the end of fall, winter, and spring quarters, continued eligibility will be determined for each of the scholars. If a student loses eligibility in one quarter, he/she will be placed on scholarship probation. If a student is on scholarship probation for two quarters, he/she will lose the scholarship. An S‐STEM scholarship awarded in the junior year can be renewed for the student’s senior year. To continue to be eligible for the S‐STEM scholarship, a student must:  Be enrolled full time (12 or more credits per quarter, across three quarters in an academic year).  Make expected progress towards the completion of his/her BSEE degree.  Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above.  Adhere to the Seattle University Code of Student Conduct and Redhawk Commitment (available on  SU’s website).  Participate in at least two thirds of the enrichment and support activities.  Facilitate the evaluation of the effectiveness of the enrichment and support activities.
