Scholarships & Financial Aid

Support for Exceptional Students

Thanks to generous alumni and industry support, MGE awards more than $8,000 in scholarships per undergraduate each academic year. With additional support from the University of Arizona and College of Engineering, many students graduate debt-free.

Apply for scholarships through the UA Scholarship Universe.

More information on undergraduate scholarships and financial aid is available through the College of Engineering.

Additionally, the UA Veterans Education & Transition Services lists military-affiliated resources.
