Scholarships available to engineering students from Howard

Talk about it

Students attending high school in Howard and looking for a career in engineering are encouraged to apply for the Ross Wagner Scholarship, one of an unlimited number of scholarships established by Gemini Incorporated in honor of Wagner, who served as chairman of the company’s board of directors from 1988 to 1992 and was a native of Howard.

The scholarships are full-ride scholarships for students majoring in civil, biomedical, aeronautical, mechanical, electrical, aerospace and chemical engineering. Students seeking degrees in chemistry and physics may also apply.

It is open to students in the founders’ hometowns, as well as those students attending school in cities where Gemini has a plant.

Students must attend one of the top 30 engineering schools in the U.S. and Canada, as rated by U.S. News and World Report, and McGill University, University of Waterloo and Simon Fraser University. Students must maintain a “B” GPA, work in the school’s engineering lab and work in the field of endeavor during summer break.
