ROSE-BUD
S-STEM Scholarship Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Goal
The goal of the Rose Building Undergraduate Diversity (ROSE-BUD) program is to broaden the participation of academically talented students majoring in electrical and computer engineering. The program is part of National Science Foundation's efforts to encourage more students toward
careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Students may receive up to $10,000 per year to support academic scholarship.

Eligibility
One of the goals of the program is to build diversity among electrical and computer engineering students. The ROSE-BUD program is a scholarship program available to academically talented students majoring in electrical or computer engineering who demonstrate a financial need with special emphasis on women and minorities.

Eligible students are freshmen or transfer students with a demonstrated financial need who have been accepted to Rose-Hulman. Through the generosity of the National Science Foundation, the ROSE-BUD program will provide financial support, advising, mentoring, networking and professional development. To be eligible for the ROSE-BUD Scholarship Program students must meet the following criteria:

Be a US citizen or permanent resident
Acceptance to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Apply for admission.
Major in Electrical or Computer Engineering at Rose-Hulman.
Demonstrate high academic qualification and professionalism
Be eligible to receive federal financial aid and demonstrate an unmet need of at least $4,000 based on the Cost of Attendance (COA) minus the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Activities
Special support mechanisms will be developed for both scholarship recipients and current female and minority students. In preparation for students to apply for summer internships, they will be taught professional skills through the ROSE-BUD program, including: communication, teamwork and understanding ethics and professionalism. The students will also have the opportunity to interact with professionals and upper-classmen. Workshops and seminars designed around these topics will be held each academic year. Read more.
