ASNT Engineering Undergraduate Scholarship Opening Soon
Offered by ASNT Foundation (American Society for Nondestructive Testing)
About This Scholarship
The ASNT Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing, awards up to three $3,000 Engineering Undergraduate Scholarships each year to encourage engineering students to specialize in nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT/NDE) — the field that inspects aircraft, pipelines, bridges, and power plants without taking them apart.
The award targets undergraduates enrolled at colleges and universities with recognized engineering departments who can demonstrate an active interest in NDT/NDE, whether through coursework, research, student projects, or work experience. Applicants must have an anticipated graduation date after the scholarship funds are distributed, so the money actually supports remaining coursework.
There is no application fee and no ASNT membership requirement, which is unusual among technical-society awards. For engineering students eyeing careers in aerospace, energy, or infrastructure integrity, it is a focused award with a small applicant pool compared to general engineering scholarships.
