Four-year scholarships
Burrell and Thurman scholarships covering tuition and mandatory fees for high-achieving engineering students.
Alumni mentorship
Every scholar is matched with a Southern engineering alumnus for the duration of their matriculation.
Professional development
Ongoing academic support, career preparation, and industry exposure throughout the cohort experience.
Industry exposure
The annual SEAS Engineering Reunion connects scholars with alumni, companies, and the community.
