ECE Visionary Scholarships
Established 2012
In 2012, in partnership with The Grainger Foundation, the Grainger College of Engineering launched an ambitious initiative to raise $100 million in endowment support with a special emphasis on unrestricted scholarships. The Engineering Visionary Scholarship Initiative has since paved the way for hundreds of deserving students to make their dreams of becoming an engineer a reality.
The ECE Visionary Scholarship attracts the brightest students, ensures a diverse and talented class, and helps reduce debt.
