The consulting firm of AES Engineers is committed to continuing its support of higher education by providing scholarships to deserving students.
To be eligible the student needs to answer one of the essay questions that they will find on the AES site. Their belief is that achieving a high grade point average should not be the only criteria for determining who deserves to be helped. For that reason they are offering a scholarship that will be awarded on the basis of character, as determined by evaluating the essays that are submitted.
The amount of award is $500.00. Entries are due by October 5, 2012. For further information, including previous winners, visit their web site at: www.aesengineers.com/scholarships.htm.
