CRITERIA FOR AWARDING
SMRP STUDENTS
In an effort to encourage academic institutions and their
students to consider careers in maintenance and reliability,
and to further encourage professionalism in the field, the
Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (SMRP)
will annually award various scholarship monies to selected
individuals who have applied for such funds and for which
the SMRP Board of Directors acting through the Academic
Liaison Committee have deemed deserving. The number and
dollar amount of these awards are reviewed annually by the
SMRP Board and there is no obligation upon SMRP to continue
awards from year-to-year.
Criteria for selection of the specific scholarship awardees
are as follows:
- Minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0, supported by transcript.
- Minimum 12 week demonstrated work experience in Reliability
or Maintenance field.
- Inclusion of a one-page-maximum summary of work experience
in the R & M field. This could be co-op, intern, pre-college
or part-time experiences, but should include specific
details to allow the institution to accurately gage the
type and quality of work experience.
- Inclusion of a one-page-maximum resume on non-work experience,
activities, and other information as to why the applicant
should be awarded the scholarship.
- Demonstrated activity/leadership on campus (e.g. professional
societies, organizations, etc.).
- Member of a SMRP Student Chapter (desired).
- Should be rising junior or senior.
Financial need is not to be considered a criterion.
SMRP Scholarship
In an effort to increase the number of students interested
in the maintenance and reliability profession, the SMRP
Board of Directors has authorized two $2,000 USD scholarships
