Note: The John and Marcia Price College of Engineering provides more scholarship opportunities to students progressing through our program than to incoming freshman – in fact, many of our scholarships are available only to juniors and seniors in engineering.

Emergency Funds

Complete a FAFSA form then apply for emergency funding here. You must be enrolled as a student in order to be qualified to receive funding.

Hakon H. Haglund Financial Relief Fund

The Price College of Engineering is accepting applications for the Hakon H. Haglund Financial Relief Fund, for which students can apply here.

If you are a Price College of Engineering student nearing completion of your B.S. engineering program (not available to computer science majors) and are experiencing a significant or unforeseen financial hardship, the Hakon H. Haglund Financial Relief Fund may be able to help you with scholarships aimed at enabling you to complete your degree. GPA is not a factor to receive assistance from the fund, and scholarships may be renewable based on need and available funds.

Preference is given to those who demonstrate financial need and are serious about completing their engineering degree. Applications are accepted year-round; however, funds are limited. Applications will be reviewed in May for summer semester, August for fall semester, and December for spring semester awards.
