Scholarships open more doors for students who have historically had fewer pathways into engineering. Ongoing investments ensure the field benefits from a range of perspectives, including those of women and underserved students. Explore how donor support continues to make the profession more accessible.
ASME Scholarships
Pathways for the Next Generation of Engineers
Engineering is generational and cumulative.
Progress is the continual work of people who shape technology and the engineers who follow. Scholarships sustain that progression by supporting students who show strong potential but face financial barriers that limit their path into advanced study.
Every year, the ASME Foundation awards
more than 150 scholarships.
Your support plays a critical role in advancing the technical knowledge and careers of future engineering leaders.

Invest in Tomorrow’s Engineering Talent
Many students have the talent and discipline to thrive in engineering, yet financial pressure limits how far that potential can grow. Without support, advanced study feels out of reach. Scholarships supply the tools, lab time, and advanced courses that develop the skills needed for the next stage of engineering practice. Wider participation, especially from underserved communities, brings new perspectives that strengthen the field’s long-term progression.
Your support equips emerging engineers to move into work that benefits society. From clean water systems to lifesaving medical technologies, engineers are building the foundation of a better future.
Scholarship Pathways
High School
Students
Graduating seniors begin their engineering education with the fundamentals that shape later success. Scholarships support their transition into the next stage of academic study.
Community College & Technical Students
Early engineering coursework forms the base for advanced study and transfer into four-year programs. Scholarships advance students toward more rigorous technical preparation.
4-Year & Graduate Students
Undergraduate and graduate programs develop the depth of knowledge needed for professional engineering roles. Scholarships enable students to progress into early professional practice.
