ONE OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF ACHS Founded at Lehigh University, June 15, 1885 No of Active Chapters: 234 No of Alumni Chapters/Clubs: 59 Total Membership: 508962 Number of Regions: 16 Publications: The Bent, The Bulletin | Scholarships and Fellowships: The Fellowship Program is Tau Beta Pi's single most important
project for the advancement of engineering education and the profession. It
is a time-proven idea which was pioneered by Tau Beta Pi in the
honor-society field. The plan was adopted by the 1928 Convention. The
purpose has been to finance, for a select group of members chosen for merit
and need, a year of graduate study at the colleges of their choice. A
distinguishing feature of Tau Beta Pi fellowships has always been that they
are as free of binding rules as possible. Many other fellowships are
designated for some specific purpose, making it difficult for students with
original ideas to find one exactly fitted to their needs. Tau Beta Pi
fellows are free to do graduate work in any field which will enable them to
contribute to the engineering profession. The only specific duty of awardees
is to write a report at the completion of the fellowship year summarizing
their work. The current stipend is $10,000. In 76 years, awards worth
$4,975,000 have been made to 1,359 Fellows. The program won the ASEE's
2009 excellence in engineering collaboration award. Application is on website www.tbp.org. Annual deadline is Februrary 1. For more information on Tau Beta Pi grants and fellowships, see: www.tbp.org or contact Pat McDaniel by email or at 865-546-4578 Keywords: engineering scholarships fellowships
