The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and the Association for Iron & Steel Technology Foundation (AIST Foundation) have announced that applications for the FeMET and StEEL Scholarships are being accepted now through 5 March 2009. Each scholarship includes USD 5,000 for the scholar’s junior year, a paid summer internship with a North American steel company between his/her junior and senior year, and an additional USD 5,000 toward the student’s senior year tuition. The AISI/AIST Foundation Premier Scholarship will be awarded to the top-scoring applicant from both the FeMET and StEEL applications received. This scholarship includes USD 10,000 for the scholar’s junior year, a paid summer internship with a North American steel company between his/her junior and senior year, and an additional USD 10,000 toward the student’s senior year tuition. The goals of the FeMET program are to encourage more students to choose metallurgy or materials science as their field of study; to recruit more graduates into the steel industry; and to increase the number of metallurgical professors in North American universities. The StEEL program, with similar industry objectives, is open to all undergraduate engineering majors.
