The American Society of Naval Engineers began its scholarship program in 1979 in order to promote the profession of naval engineering and to encourage college students to enter the field. Since the inception of the Scholarship Program, ASNE has since awarded 421 scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing an education and career in naval engineering.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2011-2012 academic year. All applications must be received by February 15, 2011.
