MSE BUSINESS OPTION PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES

INTRODUCTION

The Business Option Program (BOP) Scholarship is available only to BS Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) student majors who agree to complete the specified 12 hours of GIT/COM management (MGT) courses:  3000, 3078, 3150 and 3660.  Eligible students electing to take up to two of the specified MGT courses at the Georgia Tech-Lorraine (GT-L) Campus, France, will receive a pre-paid $500 MSE scholarship for each course (maximum of $1000 total scholarship funding).  For any completed GT-L course in which less than a “C” grade is obtained, the student recipient will be required by signed agreement to reimburse the School the $500 received for that particular course. This scholarship is offered to help defray expenses of spending a semester at GT-L, and in support of the Georgia Tech strategy of encouraging students to gain international study and cultural experiences.

ELIGIBILITY

Scholarship applicants must either be a US citizen or a permanent resident currently enrolled in good standing with the Georgia Tech Registrar, be GPA eligible to participate in the GT-L Program and be an undergraduate student enrolled in the BS MSE degree program.  Applications and required supporting materials are reviewed by the MSE Associate Chair for Undergraduate Programs to determine eligibility.  Recipients are notified of their award in writing as soon as the application has been approved.
