Undergraduate Engineering Scholarships & Aid

» Undergraduate Engineering Scholarships & Aid

We offer scholarship awards for first-year and transfer students ranging from $3,000 up to meeting full needs for select recipients. For this reason, we encourage all interested students to apply.

  • Unless otherwise noted, all applicants to a Fowler School of Engineering undergraduate degree program will be considered for the awards below (and you will need to apply to a Fowler Engineering major to be considered for these awards). 
  • In nearly all cases, scholarship and aid from Fowler Engineering can be combined with other merit and need-based aid, as well as outside scholarships. 
  • Scholarships for first-year students can be renewed for the four years they will be at Chapman. Transfer students can renew for up to eight semesters minus the number of full-time equivalent semesters attended prior to enrolling at Chapman.
  • Scholarship renewal requirements will be listed in award letters.

“It makes me feel more confident, seeing that the school thought I deserved this. Getting the scholarship encourages me to be the best I can. I feel I have a lot more waiting there for me because of the scholarship.”

Industry-sponsored Scholarships

Award amount: $500 and up, depending on scholarship 

Industry-sponsored scholarships are provided by one of our industry partners. They are provided to help promising students prepare to enter high-need engineering fields.

In addition to the financial award, these scholarships may include an internship with one of our partners and/or a Grand Challenges Initiative project that aligns with a partner’s mission. Some industries represented include:

  • Aerospace
  • Biomedical implants
  • Business/data analytics
  • Medical devices
  • Semiconductor manufacturing
  • Software development

Laptop Assistance Program

Since computers are essential to completing your coursework, we created the Laptop Assistance Program.

Incoming students can apply to receive a new laptop to use throughout their time as Chapman Engineering students.

The Laptop Assistance Program application will be sent to all admitted engineering students. Preference will be given to those with a demonstrated need.

In addition, Fowler Engineering has a Laptop Loan Program where eligible engineering students can borrow a laptop for the semester.

Aid for current Fowler Engineering students

We also provide aid to current students to make the most of their Fowler Engineering experience.

The following awards can assist with general academic support, research, internships, travel or hosting an event.


Support Fowler School of Engineering students

The Fowler School of Engineering supports student achievement within a complex and rapidly evolving global technology landscape. We strongly believe that transformative ideas in the face of such complexity can only arise from a broad set of contexts, perspectives, ideas, experiences and viewpoints. 

To ensure that we are identifying and attracting the broadest possible cohort of outstanding, ambitious students regardless of their economic circumstances, we work diligently to secure a range of tailored engineering scholarships.
