ME UNDERGRADUATES

ME DEPARTMENT TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS for fall or winter tuition assistance. Scholarships are given only to admitted ME majors, but pre-professional students can apply in anticipation of being accepted to the program. Apply online at https://meapply.byu.edu/tuition-scholarship. The application window opens on January 1 and all applications are due by March 1 at 5:00pm MT for the following Fall and Winter semesters. All applicants will be notified of the decision by email by mid-summer.

Scholarships are intended to assist students in completing their degree in a timely fashion. Consequently, to keep a department scholarship award, students must maintain at least 12 credits of class enrollment during each semester of the scholarship award period. Students in their final 2 semesters that require fewer than 12 credits to graduate can submit a petition to reduce this credit requirement, by email to ojohnson@byu.edu (students must still be registered for at least 3 credits to be considered). The petition should (1) attest that you are in your last 2 semesters, and indicate (2) the reason that you are planning to take fewer than 12 credits, (3) the number of credits that you will be registered for, together with (4) any additional information you would like the scholarship committee to consider as part of the petition.

Prior to submitting an application for an ME Department Scholarship, applicants must complete and submit a FAFSA application (see https://enrollment.byu.edu/federalaid/the-fafsa). Information from the FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for ME Department Scholarships.
