• Abstract:
  Support will make scholarships available to minority and women students interested in engineering and science and will increase ; significantly the number of minority and female students that Missouri S&T can recruit to its science and engineering programs. ; Recipients of scholarships will also be exposed to career opportunities in transportation. ; Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) scholarships are awarded to support female Missouri S&T students studying science and ; engineering. Missouri S&T’s WISE program provides a campus focal point for increasing the number of women in science, ; engineering, math, and technology fields through outreach, recruitment, and retention efforts from middle school age through ; undergraduate levels. WISE provides support programs such as mentoring, advising, professional/technical workshops, and social ; activities, with the goal of providing a rich academic and social experience for young women at Missouri S&T. ; Minority Engineering and Science Program ( MEP) scholarships provide critical financial support for under-represented students ; majoring in engineering and science programs at Missouri S&T. MEP scholarship students receive professional and academic support ; through the close-knit MEP network of friends, mentors, and Missouri S&T staff. MEP has a rich 30 year tradition of sponsoring ; events, activities and organizations that ensure its students are prepared for personal and professional success
