PCE Scholars Programs


Scholars’ programs offer a wealth of benefits beyond the typical college experience, and joining a scholar’s program can be a game-changer for your academic journey.

These programs provide a community of high-achieving peers who will push you to excel academically and personally. You will have access to research opportunities, networking opportunities with industry professionals, and collaboration with faculty and peers within the John and Marcia Price College of Engineering.

By joining a scholar’s program, you will not only graduate with a strong academic foundation but also gain valuable leadership skills, hands-on experience, and build a network of lifelong connections. Joining a scholar’s program isn’t just about checking a box on your resume; it is an investment in your future. Being a part of a scholar’s program will not only boost your academic profile, but it will also empower you to become a leader and well-rounded individual, prepared to excel and make a real impact in your chosen engineering field. In essence, joining a scholar’s program isn’t just about academic enrichment; it’s about building a bridge to your future career. It’s an investment in your professional network, practical experience, and overall marketability, making you a well-equipped and well-connected candidate in the eyes of potential employers.
