About the scholarship program

The scholarship program is the flagship effort of Engineering Alliance Foundation Minnesota. This is just one of many opportunities we provide to influence the future of engineering.

Scholarships are funded by our endowment as well as by individuals who are inspired to create a scholarship in honor of a cause, organization or individual. Thanks to our partners and the support of generous individuals, we can count on a strong future for Minnesota’s workforce.

The scholarship competition opens each fall. Learn more about how to apply for a scholarship.

But these students have a few things in common: passion for the engineering field, demonstrated leadership ability and the dedication to pursue a career in this challenging and rewarding field.

Meet the scholars

Proudly presenting the 2019 MPEF engineering scholarship cohort:

• Javier Lara, Chemical Engineering, University of Minnesota Duluth
• Jera Zellmann, Mechanical Engineering, University of Minnesota Duluth
• Nathan Oliver, Electrical Engineering, Iron Range Engineering
• Erick Sipila, Industrial & Systems Engineering, University of Minnesota – Twin Cities
• Maria Wrage, Composite Materials Engineering, Winona State University
• Matt DeJong, Chemical Engineering, University of Minnesota – Twin Cities
