ASCO accepting applications for 2016 industrial automation engineering scholarships

ASCO, a manufacturer of fluid automation systems, has begun accepting applications for its 2016 industrial automation engineering scholarship program.

The firm will award two $5,000 scholarships to U.S. engineering students, provide $1,000 grants to their college’s engineering departments, and host the students at “The Amazing Packaging Race” at Pack Expo International in 2016.

The merit-based scholarship is awarded for the candidate’s potential for leadership and for making a significant contribution to the industrial automation engineering profession, particularly as it relates to the application of fluid control and fluid power technologies.

To apply, students must be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate or graduate program in an instrumentation, systems, electrical, mechanical, or automation engineering discipline at an accredited U.S. educational institution for the 2016-2017 academic year. Candidates also must maintain at least a 3.2 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale and be a U.S. citizen or legal U.S. resident.

The deadline to apply is April 3, 2016. Details and forms are available at www.asconumatics.com/scholarship.
