Scholarships

There are external and internal (Auburn) scholarships available for students.  External scholarships are pursued by students on their own; here is a link to get you started http://www.auburn.edu/scholarship/external-scholarships.html

There are three main sources of internal scholarships:

  1. University Scholarships:  http://www.auburn.edu/scholarship/

  2. College of Engineering (COE) Scholarships:  http://www.eng.auburn.edu/students/schfi/index.html

  3. Department Scholarships: Thanks to the support of individuals, foundations, industry and government, the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering has a number of scholarship opportunities available for students. Most of these scholarships are for current students in the major, but a few are available for freshmen who have declared pre-Industrial Engineering as their major (Comer and Parke). Scholarships are usually awarded for the academic year and selections are made in February/March based on academic performance evaluated at the end of Fall semester. All current ISE students are considered for most of the scholarships without an application. The Tim Cook and Joe Forehand require a separate application and are usually selected by the end of spring semester for the next academic year. Emails are sent to all students announcing the invitation to apply for the Cook and Forehand.

The university requires students to maintain a 3.0 GPA to hold a scholarship. Some of our scholarships require a higher GPA and some require financial need as evidenced by the FAFSA. We have to respect the wishes of the donors in awarding scholarships.

The table below lists the scholarships available.
