Overview

• Scholars are selected by the '31E Scholarship Committee. The Committee consists of Class of 1931E graduates, spouses and children, former Scholars, and University representatives.
• Scholarships are awarded based on academic record. Criteria used by the Committee are grade point average, community service, school activities, and employment experience. Relatives and descendants of 1931E members will be given priority. 
• The number and amount of Scholarships awarded in a year depend upon the amount of interest generated by the endowment fund.
  • Awards are determined annually by the committee. In 2004, the award for in-state students was $10,000 and for out-of-state students $12,000.
  • Currently, the fund supports 23 Scholars.
