Undergraduate Scholarships

DSC_4646

The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering has a number of merit-based scholarships available for first year students in the program. Students admitted to civil & environmental engineering will automatically be considered for a departmental scholarship. Newly admitted students will be notified of scholarship offers shortly after their notification of admission to the College of Engineering, and the selections will be based on information students provide in their University of Maine application. Questions about scholarships may be directed to the department chair.

PaCEsetter Scholarship

Outstanding prospective students will also be automatically considered for a PaCEsetter scholarship. The Civil Engineering Association of the University of Maine has funded eight scholarships of up to $2000 annually for two years. The primary criterion for PaCEsetter scholarships is demonstrated commitment to academic achievement and professional development.
