E. E. Carter Foundation Opportunity Award

The E. E. Carter Foundation was established by E. Eugene Carter Foundation in 2019. The fund was established to provide need-based financial support to undergraduate students in the College of Engineering who received subsidized federal student loans.

First preference shall be given to students with a demonstrated cultural appreciation for persons from underrepresented populations in engineering/computer science including, but not limited to women, those with Hispanic ethnicity, first-generation college students, and/or immigrants/children of immigrants. Further preference shall be given to students who have a federal work-study job on campus, who seek academic support and mentoring, and/or who are mentors or tutors to other students. No minimum grade point average is required of recipients.

The amount of each scholarship shall be equal to the balance of the student’s subsidized federal student loan(s) at the time of graduation, subject to a maximum per student of $20,000.
