Financial Aid
As student members of Tau Beta Pi, you are eligible to a number of financial aid opportunities that can help you in your education at Michigan Technological University (and perhaps beyond)!
Undergraduate Scholarships
Undergraduate members are eligible to apply to the Tau Beta Pi Scholarship Program. This is a $2000 scholarship for a full academic year or a $1000 scholarship for a single semester (i.e., graduating in the fall semester). You must be in full-time status to be eligible. Elected candidates who will be initiated by June 1 are also eligible to apply. The application opens February 1, and it is due April 1 at 11:59 PM EST.
Graduate Fellowships
If you are a graduate student member of Tau Beta Pi, you are eligible to apply for the Tau Beta Pi Fellowship Program. Recipients of the fellowship are awarded $10,000 in 10 monthly payments, and it is a prestigious honor to be a recipient! The application opens in December, and it also requires two letters of recommendation. Elected candidates who will be initiated by June 1 and be a full-time graduate student in Fall 2025 are also eligible to apply. The application is due on February 1 at 11:59 PM EST, and both reference letters are due February 8 at 11:59 PM EST.
United Planet Scholarship
Do you REALLY love to participate in volunteering opportunities? Do you also want to participate in service opportunities abroad? Scholarships are available to cover the $500 program fee in any United Planet program.
United Planet is a non-profit organization that offers international volunteering programs in 35 countries. One $500 scholarship to cover the program fee can be awarded to each Tau Beta Pi chapter once per year if one of their inducted members decides to participate!
