The SME Education Foundation scholarship application is now open for the 2022/2023 academic year.

Scholarships Program Overview 

 Help spread the word about this fantastic opportunity to your network of students!
The Foundation awards over a million dollars in scholarships every year to several hundred high school seniors and undergraduate/graduate students pursing degrees in manufacturing, engineering, or a related STEM field. Two-year and four-year programs are eligible for consideration.

Unfortunately, a small minority of our applicants – and thus awardees – are community college students. 

 Let’s change this together and significantly increase awards to community college students!
One scholarship application provides students with the opportunity to be considered for 60-plus Foundation scholarship funds. The application period is open until February 1st, 2022.

Dear Dr. Yamagata-Noji:

I am writing to you hoping that you may be aware of a talented student affairs executive. We invite nominations, referral and applications. All information is handled with the level of confidentiality that you request. This is a confidential search — only the identities of final candidates will be in the public domain. The soft application deadline is November 17, 2019, and applications received by this date are guaranteed full consideration.

As a comprehensive community college serving more than 9,800 students GateWay provides transfer and general education for articulation to four-year institutions, associates degrees, certificate programs, and a range of non-degree offerings in traditional and online formats. The college is widely known for its outstanding occupational education, including nursing, allied health and other unique and high-demand programs. The college is going though several transformative initiatives as one of the Maricopa Community Colleges, including Guided Pathways, and seeks a student affairs subject matter expert and an inspiring leader who can imagine, develop and implement GateWay’s student affairs future.

I appreciate in advance any assistance you may be able to offer us.
