Clare Boothe Luce Scholarship and Vehicle Cyber Engineering Scholarship
Clare Boothe Luce Scholarship
The Clare Boothe Luce Scholarship at University of Detroit Mercy traditionally supports women in engineering and computer science programs. Recipients will receive full tuition for their junior and senior years of undergraduate education. In addition, Clare Boothe Luce recipients will be members of a community of peer scholars that participate in regular cohort-building activities and receive additional academic and professional mentoring. Transfer students may participate in a paid, faculty-mentored research opportunity during the summer prior to their first term at Detroit Mercy. Students from historically underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
