The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Twin Cities Professional Chapter (SHPE-TC) is dedicated to providing scholarship funds and educational support systems for engineering and science students of Hispanic/Latinx backgrounds. The SHPE-TC Academic Scholarship supports Hispanic/Latinx students in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math.) The Chapter will be awarding multiple scholarships starting at $1,000.

National statistics indicate that Hispanic/Latinx students are neither enrolling nor completing engineering curricula in proportion to their increasing population. In order to close this glaring educational gap, more students from Hispanic/Latinx backgrounds must be motivated, assisted financially, and supported with programs to complete higher education degrees. Over the last five years, the SHPE-TC Chapter has awarded over $60,000 in scholarships to local Hispanic/Latinx high school and college students pursuing STEM degrees. Scholarships typically range from $1,000 to $2,500 per student.
