Multiple one-year and two-year scholarships will be awarded at the $1,500 and $3,000 ($1,500 per year for two years) levels respectively to a combination of graduating high school seniors and student members of the University of Iowa SAME Student Post. SAME will award the scholarships to the students who best fit the enclosed criteria. In selecting scholarship recipients, graduating high school seniors and University of Iowa SAME Student Post members will be ranked separately. Four-year scholarships will be awarded at the $6,000 level ($1,500 per year for four years) to graduating high school seniors. SAME will award the scholarships to high school seniors who best fit the enclosed criteria.

The benefits to these scholarships include sponsorship to SAME and future mentor connections that can be invaluable to the student. These scholarships are offered to graduating seniors from several local high schools in the Quad Cities and surrounding Areas.
