SHPE Scholarship!
I am currently the Vice-President Internal of SHPE Houston Professional Chapter (SHPE = Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers), where our main goal is to help our greater Houston Hispanic community and promote STEM majors among our youth. We are a group of mentors, role models, and leaders in STEM and help with workshops and scholarship opportunities.

This is open to ALL current high school and community college students (regardless of ethnicity) seeking to attend a 4-year institution and seek a STEM degree in Fall 2023. During this virtual workshop, we will show them how to apply to the ScholarSHPE program as well as tips/tricks to applying to scholarships in general. Scholarship range from $500 - $1000. Please share this among your students to take advantage of this great opportunity!
