Tech360 Scholarship Program
Designed to offer extraordinary academic, financial, and peer support, the Tech360 Scholarship Program provides 360 degrees of guidance, encouragement, and reinforcement for students from underserved populations who are interested in receiving an outstanding education.
Students will also be enrolled in our ExSEL Program (Excelling the Student Experience of Learning), designed to promote student success by offering academic mentoring through services such as:
- Frameworks for Success class
- Peer mentoring
- Study groups
- One-on-one staff support
- Academic progress monitoring
- Unique campus events, activities, and career and personal development seminars
The opportunity: Tech360 is for high school seniors in the Detroit, Jackson, Beecher, and Kalamazoo school districts in Michigan, as well as seniors from other selected high schools. Students must enroll at Michigan Tech in the fall following high school graduation.
Scholarship value: Twelve to fifteen students will be awarded a $5,000 annual scholarship in additional to regular Michigan Tech merit-based aid (bringing total merit-based aid potential value up to $9,000 per year). Need-based aid is also available for qualifying students.
Renewal Criteria: The award covers four years (eight semesters) of study. To retain this scholarship, recipients must maintain a cumulative grade point average, continuous full-time undergraduate enrollment, and acceptable social behavior, and must live in the University's residence halls for their first and second academic years.
Application Procedure: Get all the details.
