Celebrating 40 Years of Engineering the Future
To mark the milestone, the ASME Foundation is recognizing 40 promising students as its 40th-anniversary scholars. Your gift ensures more students take the next step forward.
$40 helps cover the cost of safety gear and lab supplies.
$400 covers a student’s textbook costs for one semester.
$4,000 covers the average cost of a single, three-credit course.
The field of engineering advances one student at a time.
In 1986, the ASME Foundation was established to empower the next generation of engineers through scholarships, fellowships, and hands-on technical programs. From the beginning, the Foundation has sought to leave no promising student behind, regardless of race, gender, or economic status.
Today, donors continue to support future engineers, from their earliest spark of interest through the preparation that leads into professional practice.

In 1880, leading engineers founded ASME to respond to a rapidly industrializing world by setting formal engineering design and safety standards.
A century later, ASME created its Foundation to invest in aspiring engineers who will advance the profession for the benefit of humanity.

Invest in a
Better World for Everyone
Every student needs years of coursework, lab time, and supervised experience before entering the profession. Yet, about half of engineering students leave the major before earning a degree. Many leave near graduation, when tuition and lab fees add up quickly.
When capable students stop short, the profession loses engineers and the diverse thinking it will need for safe, reliable systems in the years ahead.
Your support today determines who advances engineering tomorrow.
