The Materials Technology Institute seeks college students who show an interest in pursuing a career related to Materials Engineering in the Process Industries to apply for the prestigious 2021 Bert Krisher Memorial Scholarship. MTI selects two applicants to receive the award, which includes $5,000 each to help cover educational expenses.
Undergraduate students from around the world are eligible to submit their qualifications for the scholarships. Qualified applications include students enrolled in Materials Engineering, Materials Science, Corrosion Engineering, and other relevant programs; relevant coursework (completed or scheduled); academic achievement; personal and professional activities; work experience; and letters of recommendation.
“This scholarship is addressing the primary objective of encouraging qualified engineers to pursue a career in Process Industries-related Materials Engineering,” notes Srini Kesavan (FMC), Scholarship Committee Chair. Previous scholarship winners have been from many different schools in the USA and Europe. The majority of them are now employed as full-time materials engineers within the Process Industries.”
MTI members will have access to this pool of applicants for consideration as interns/co-ops and possible development as future employees. For students, winning an MTI Scholarship offers the unique opportunity to network and build future working relationships with some of the most notable engineers in the process industries. Having the chance to attend an AmeriTAC Meeting is a highly regarded benefit of winning the MTI scholarship.
