American Society of Naval Engineers

 Nature of the Scholarships

The purpose of the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) Scholarship Program is to    improve and promote the profession of naval engineering. The Society’s goal is to encourage college students to enter the field of naval engineering and to provide valuable support to naval engineers seeking advanced education in the field. 

Since the program was inaugurated in 1979, 421 ASNE scholarships have been awarded.  For the 2009-2010 academic year, ASNE scholarship awards supported 12 undergraduate students ($3,000) and 9 graduate students ($4,000).  

As a further means of encouraging students’ interest in a career in naval engineering, all ASNE scholars and alternates are awarded a one year honorary student membership to the Society.
