SEnS GPS – STEM Graduate Program Scholarship

The Stellar Engineering Students Graduate Program Scholarship is dedicated to providing financial, social, and academic support to MS level engineering students who are searching for a close-knit graduate community in which they will be trained to address the perpetually changing needs of modern society.

Students in this program will participate in community activities, mentoring, and be given the opportunity to work in industry while completing their degree.

Eligibility for Scholarship

Must be admitted to an MS level program in the Boise State College of Engineering

Must be a US Citizen, Permanent Resident, Asylee, or Refugee.

Must demonstrate unmet financial need. Students attending Boise State utilizing a full Graduate Assistantship are not eligible to receive SEnS GPS funding.

Note: Students may participate in program activities as non-scholars if they do not meet the requirements for scholarship.

Application Process

Students may apply to SEnS GPS in two categories, scholarship seeking and non-scholarship seeking.
