Baltimore Post Scholarships

Post Scholarships

Purpose

The purpose of the Baltimore Post Scholarship and Educational Outreach Fund is to provide financial assistance to: (1) deserving college students to enable them to pursue their chosen course of study in engineering, architecture, or related disciplines; (2) honorably discharged veterans who have served our Nation for professional study directly related to engineering, architecture, or related disciplines, and (3) committee sponsored programs that promote the growth and learning of junior high and high school students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). We accomplish this through scholarships awarded to qualified students and veterans who are pursuing a baccalaureate degree in these fields. Our scholarship recipients are selected on a merit-based approach.

Scholarship Awards

Our program awards scholarships in three categories – One-Year Scholarships, Four-Year Scholarships and Relative Scholarships. All scholarship awards are in the amount of $3,000 per academic year and are awarded during the first semester.

Those students and veterans who are interested can obtain an application form from the link below. Applicants are to select all categories they would like to be considered for, provided they meet the requirements. General requirements for all SAME scholarships are specified on the “Scholarship Selection Criteria” sheet of the application. Additional requirements for each of the three scholarship categories are provided below.

One-Year Scholarships

One-year scholarships are awarded to students and veterans entering their freshman, sophomore, junior or senior year. Applicants must meet the “Scholarship Selection Criteria” requirements and must be attending a school that is in the SAME Baltimore Post geographic region. A list of eligible schools for the current academic year is provided below.

Four-Year Scholarships

Four-year scholarships are awarded to incoming freshmen. Candidates for four-year scholarships may be nominated by the school or the candidate may self-nominate. Applicants must meet the “Scholarship Selection Criteria” requirements and must be attending a school that is in the SAME Baltimore Post geographic region. A list of eligible schools for the current academic year is provided below. Candidates must meet two requirements to be considered for scholarship renewal after the first year award:

• maintain a grade point average of at least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
• maintain full-time student status progressing towards a four-year degree in an eligible program 

Relative Scholarships

This category awards scholarships to candidates who are directly related to an ACTIVE member of the Baltimore Post. The candidate must be nominated by a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian. The candidate must provide the ACTIVE member’s name, post affiliation, and SAME positions held with their application. The candidate does NOT need to attend a university or college in the SAME Baltimore Post geographic region, but has to meet the “Scholarship Selection Criteria” requirements. If the candidate is a graduating high school senior, proof of acceptance to a college or university in an eligible program is required. If already enrolled, a letter from the Registrar or other proof of enrollment must be submitted.
