Emerging Leaders

Emerging Leaders in Engineering Scholarships are awarded to students who are selected to participate in the Emerging Leaders in Engineering Program. The Program is designed to help undergraduate engineering students develop their leadership abilities through practical experience, personal reflection and assisting with planned College of Engineering activities.

Eligibility Requirements

The Emerging Leaders in Engineering application is open to current and newly admitted UW undergraduate students who expect to be registered full time (at least 12 credits) during the award period and pursuing a bachelor's degree in the College of Engineering at the UW (Seattle campus).

Review Process

All complete and eligible applications are reviewed by a scholarship selection committee and candidates are evaluated based, in part, on their demonstrated leadership potential. Priority will be given to returning Emerging Leaders Scholarship recipients who have fully participated and excelled in the Emerging Leaders Program. Current UW students who have meaningfully participated in a College of Engineering student society, club, organization, Co-Op or research lab as well as Direct Freshman Admits are also strongly encouraged to apply.

Expectations of ELE Participants

Award recipients must continue to be actively engaged in the Emerging Leaders in Engineering Program and remain full-time undergraduate students in the College of Engineering at UW during their award period. Award recipients must maintain a 3.00 GPA during their award period. Students will also be required to register for a 1-credit Leadership Seminar/Workshop series during Fall, Winter and Spring quarters.
