Mercer Scholarship Event

Just want to send you a reminder that your students are invited to apply for the Mercer University annual Engineering Scholarship Challenge.  We have received a number of applications but there are still seats available for seniors thinking about our programs in Engineering, Industrial Management, or Technical Communication.

Each year we award valuable scholarships to high school seniors who visit with us and complete our ‘Challenge’ event.  We have an open house, campus tours, breakfast and lunch, and of course our ‘Challenge’.  We use a test of math and vocabulary skills to help us make scholarship awards that we announce before Christmas.  Students do not need to have applied to Mercer – this is a day when students and their family are invited to spend time with our faculty and students to imagine what a university experience with us would be like.

This year the event is Saturday, November 14 and I have enclosed below the original invitation emailed to you earlier this month.  Students go to engineering.mercer.edu/scholarship to apply for a seat.
