University of Arizona FSAE and Mini-Baja Scholarship Application

SAE Formula and Baja Scholarship Application University of Arizona

Due March 24, 2017

The Kanto and Mayshar scholarship funds have been established with the following intentions:

 To reward current team members for their outstanding contributions to the project,  To give SAE Formula and Baja alumni an opportunity to contribute back to the program that gave them so much, and  To give the community a venue to express its support of such student activities.

A successful program requires those who put their heart and soul into the project and this scholarship is focused on those people. Good academic performance in school is encouraged but a high GPA is not a requirement for these awards. However, low grades should be addressed in the application (we expect you to graduate). Financial need is not an overwhelming consideration, but it will not be overlooked. Please treat this application as you would any professional business matter—you will be judged accordingly. Please remember that one of the Award Committee members is an alumnus who has been in your situation.
