Information last updated on December 11, 2007
Starting with the 1999-2000 school year, the Iowa
Engineering Society no longer offers State level scholarships, nor does IES
participate in any of the scholarship programs offered through the National
Society of Professional Engineers. However, some of the
IES regional organizations do offer a Chapter scholarship. The Iowa Engineering
Society is a statewide organization comprised of several Chapters which
divide the state geographically.
IES Chapters may offer a scholarship
to high school seniors wishing to pursue an
engineering degree and career, but the recipient
must attend high school in one of the Iowa counties within that Chapter's
boundaries. Similar criteria may be used in the
various Chapters' scholarship competitions, but they are not identical.
Using the list below, you will need to identify and
contact your high school county's Chapter Coordinator for details about their scholarship program, and whether or not
you qualify to apply. The IES State Office does not
have the information you will need.
Most
Chapter scholarships are one-time awards in the $500 range, with recipients selected based on academic accomplishments.
(Again, you will need to confirm your Chapter's criteria and the amount of
their award.) Most of the scholarship winners are announced in the Spring,
but the actual monies are not distributed until the recipient has completed
their first semester in an approved pre-engineering program from a recognized
institution. Graduating high school seniors
winning Chapter scholarships who decide to attend either Iowa State University
or the University of Iowa would also qualify for a matching scholarship from
their College of Engineering.
Inquiries and applications are typically only accepted by
Chapter Coordinators between September 1 and December 1 each year, although
Chapters are free to choose different deadlines. Inquiries and applications WILL
NOT be accepted outside of the time frame
declared by the Chapter. Also, DO NOT
request scholarship information from any Chapter other than
the one including the county where you go to high school. The county in which
you attend high school determines eligibility, rather than your county of
residence. Requests from individuals attending high school outside a Chapter's
geographical boundaries, and/or outside of their time frame, will not receive a
response.
Please note that not every Chapter of the Iowa Engineering
Society may offer a scholarship in a given year. If you attend high school in a
county whose Chapter does not currently offer a scholarship, the list will
indicate "No" or "TBA" if information on the upcoming year's scholarship is "To
Be Announced" but not yet available for that Chapter.
Locate on the list below your Chapter's name opposite the county where you attend high school. Then, if your Chapter offers a scholarship, scroll down this page to see how to contact your Chapter Coordinator for details and application information.

Chapter beside the County
where you attend high school.
