Engineering Scholarships

Scholarship Program

The Engineering Education Foundation of America (EEFA) scholarships are awarded to students who are studying engineering. EEFA continually engages in efforts, outreach and fundraising to expand this scholarship program in both the amount and value of scholarships awarded. 


Scholarship recipients are announced annually at the Foundation Gala.   

The Engineering Education Foundation of America wants to help fund your education as an engineer or land surveyor. For the 2024-25 academic year, the EEFA Scholarship Program awarded nearly $55,000 in scholarships to students pursuing bachelor's or master’s degree in engineering at ABET accredited institutions!
