PLEASE NOTE (March 26, 2020):  Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic the SME Education Foundation offices are temporarily closed, but the Foundation staff and Scholarship Committee are working from home to evaluate your scholarship application.  Selection of scholarship awards has been delayed from mid-April to early June, we anticipate that notices will go out to applicants by mid-June, with check disbursements made to the colleges and universities by late July.  Because of the delayed schedule, the acceptance period for accepting awards will be shortened to one week.  Please monitor your emails in June for a notification in case your application is selected for an award. Stay safe, stay healthy.
