Scholarships Open to Undergraduate and Graduate Students
Sister to Sister Scholarship Opportunity
In the fall of 1998, the alumnae of the Colorado School of Mines gathered to celebrate 100 years of women at Mines at The Florence Caldwell Centennial Celebration. As an outgrowth of this Celebration, women developed a scholarship program sponsored and supported by alumni and friends of Mines. In 2000, the Sister-to-Sister Scholarship Program began awarding an annual scholarship to a current Mines woman student.
SWE Scholarship in honor of Florence Caldwell
The SWE Scholarship in honor of Florence Caldwell was established by the Colorado School of Mines Society of Women Engineers collegiate section in honor of the first woman to graduate from Mines. She graduated in 1898 at the age of 30. Up to four, $2,000 scholarships are awarded to Mines SWE members each academic year.
Graduate Scholarships
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFT)
Since 1952, GRFP has provided Fellowships to individuals selected early in their graduate careers based on their demonstrated potential for significant achievements in science and engineering. Three years of support is provided by the program for graduate study that is in a field within NSF’s mission and leads to a research-based master’s or doctoral degree.
