Charles Anderson

The Anderson Engineering Scholarship, funded by Charles Anderson, aims to support BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students who are pursuing careers in engineering. The scholarship recognizes the underrepresentation of BIPOC individuals in the engineering field and seeks to provide financial assistance to high school seniors and undergraduate students who demonstrate ambition, drive, and passion for engineering. The scholarship offers a total of $143,000, with 13 winners receiving $11,000 each. The application process includes submitting an essay and a one-minute video introduction, focusing on the applicant's motivation for pursuing engineering and any hands-on experience they have gained, particularly through co-op programs.
