An application window for the 2025-2026 SME scholarship season is currently open through October 15, 2025.
Last year, US$761 826 in scholarships was awarded by SME Divisions (including WAAIME and UCA), and the SME Foundation. This figure represents nearly half of the approximately US$1.6M in total financial aid given out in 2024 when including SME’s PhD Fellowship and Academic Career Development Grant programs.
“Our scholarship program remains one of our most important objectives on the critical front of workforce development,” said David L. Kanagy, SME Executive Director and CEO.
“SME is thrilled to be in a strong position where providing a large amount of financial aid to our accomplished student members is possible year-over-year.”
