The essay topic for the 2026 National Scholarship is ‘Promoting Women and Gender Minorities in Technical Fields’. Essays are due May 1st by 11:59 pm Central time. Please submit your scholarship essay using the Scholarship tab above.

Who is eligible for the National Scholarship? Any Active Member who will be active in the Fall 2026 semester. The member can be an undergraduate or graduate student. However, Alumnae Members are not eligible to apply for the National Scholarship.

Because of generous donations to the foundation over the past year, we will once again be able to award three scholarships at the 2026 National Convention Awards Banquet. Donations can be made through the Donate tab above.

This $1,000 scholarship is awarded to an Active Member studying for either undergraduate or graduate degrees and can be used toward tuition and books. The 2018 National Scholarship essay topic was “Leadership.” We had many generous donations and were able to award an additional $500 scholarship to the first runner-up. The National Scholarship Committee met on June 10, 2018 when all essays were reviewed and the committee collectively decided on recipients.

We are pleased to announce Jenna Teberg of the Epsilon Chapter is our overall 2018 National Scholarship recipient and Shana Hilgerson of the Epsilon Chapter is our first runner-up. Congratulations Jenna and Shana and thank you to all of our essay writers!
