The Indiana Society of Professional Engineers (ISPE), recognizing that an engineering education is the foundation upon which the engineering profession is constructed and also recognizing the need for encouragement and financial aid, has established the scholarship program to aid resident students of Indiana who have proven a genuine interest in an engineering career.

Students who are assisted by this program will be those whose scholastic records and personal qualifications indicate clearly that they merit the highest consideration by the Scholarship Committee. It is our hope that these scholarships will be of lasting value to the promising young citizens and the engineering profession.
