More Information about the National Engineering Scholarship Program (NESP)

  • The National Engineering Scholarship Program is designated to reduce out-of-state costs for U.S., non-resident
  • Program participation requires an invitation to and award from the Cincinnatus Scholarship Program (www.financialaid.uc.edu/cincinnatus.html)
    • Cincinnatus funds at all levels as well as the Out-of-State supplement go toward meeting the NESP assurance
  • Annual award refers to an amount for 3 in-class quarters. To ensure funding through a full undergraduate program, students will receive one-third of the annual amount for each in-class quarter during co-op years
  • UC Scholarship Maximum: Students who receive a university scholarship package in excess of the NESP assurance should note that total institutional award funds may not exceed the direct costs of attendance plus the UC-budgeted book allowance
