    Scholarship Committee/Get Involved

    Are you interested in joining the ASME Scholarship Committee?

    We welcome individuals who are interested in volunteering with us, who are passionate about helping future mechanical engineering or mechanical engineering technology (ME/MET) students earn a ME/MET degree.

    Join us in strengthening and evolving the work of the committee; to build and engage a network of scholarship alumni, help grow the number of scholarships, and broaden our reach to make a difference in the lives of engineering student who are in pursuit of a ME/METechnology education and career. We provide funding for engineering students enrolled in course work in ME/MET education, who are in financial need, attending an ABET accredited program or nationally accredited 2-year.

    Mission

    To expand participation in mechanical engineering, mechanical engineering technology and related technical disciplines among high-achieving students of leadership potential who are pursuing an ME or closely related Technical Certification, Associate degree, Bachelor’s degree or graduate degree at community colleges, colleges, universities and technical high schools.

    Vision

    The ASME Scholarship Committee seeks to foster a dynamic community of ASME volunteers working closely together to expand and award scholarships to outstanding mechanical engineering (ME/MET) and related technical discipline students, enabling the next generation of engineers to have a positive impact on the Society and the profession.
