The scholarship provides financial support equal to the annual income from the endowment for one year to students enrolled full-time in Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Master of Engineering, or dual engineering programs. Eligible students must have completed 44-52 units towards their approved program. Selection is based on academic achievements, leadership accomplishments, community service and engagement, and other factors the selection committee considers relevant for future academic success.
