CRITERIA FOR AWARDING SMRP STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS
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.
