Several area colleges will partner with a national group to offer scholarships aimed at boosting enrollment among minorities in engineering fields.
The schools include the State University of New York (SUNY) Oswego, Cornell University, and Syracuse University. They will work with the National Action Council on Minorities in Engineering on the effort, part of a series of national pilot programs, according to SUNY Oswego.
SUNY Oswego said it will provide up to 10 awards this fall worth up to $4,700 a year for up to four years. The money will go to students interested in engineering from high schools participating in the action council’s STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) Integration Model.
