Stephen C. Singleton Engineering Scholarship

The Stephen C. Singleton Engineering Scholarship

is dedicated to expanding access, opportunity, and excellence in engineering and STEM education—particularly for students from historically underrepresented minority communities.

Introduction 

It is an honor to introduce the Stephen C. Singleton Engineering Scholarship, a program established to empower and support students pursuing degrees in engineering and related STEM disciplines. This scholarship was created with a clear vision: to increase access to opportunity for talented students—particularly those from historically underrepresented minority backgrounds—who aspire to make meaningful contributions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Engineering and STEM fields play a critical role in shaping infrastructure, advancing healthcare, strengthening cybersecurity, improving environmental sustainability, and driving innovation across every sector of society. Yet, minority representation in many STEM professions remains disproportionately low. The Stephen C. Singleton Engineering Scholarship seeks to help change that reality by investing in promising students who possess the determination, academic ability, and leadership qualities needed to thrive in these rigorous fields.

We believe talent is universal, but opportunity is not always equally accessible. Financial barriers should not prevent capable and driven students from achieving their goals. This scholarship exists to encourage excellence, reward perseverance, and foster a pathway toward long-term success.

As you complete this application, we encourage you to share your story—your aspirations, your challenges, and your vision for how you intend to use your engineering education to create impact. We are proud to support students who not only pursue professional success, but also commit to uplifting their communities and contributing to a more innovative and inclusive future.

We look forward to learning more about you and your academic journey.

With sincere encouragement and support,

Stephen C. Singleton
