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 middle school, junior high and high school students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). We accomplish this through the Post’s STEM events and by providing scholarships awarded to qualified students, and veterans, 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.
