Engineering
Valparaiso University’s College of Engineering proudly supports students who combine academic strength with service and leadership through a variety of renewable scholarships. Whether you’re leading in robotics, tutoring your peers, or giving back through community work, these awards recognize your potential to make a lasting impact in the engineering world.
Scholarships Available to Engineering Students
Due to Valparaiso University’s commitment to engineering, academic excellence, and service, we offer two distinguished service scholarship opportunities and a FIRST Robotics Scholarship through Valparaiso University’s College of Engineering
The Hesse Scholarship supports Valpo’s in-house tutoring center called the Hesse Learning Resource Center, available to all engineering students. The Hesse Scholarship is an annually renewable $2,000 scholarship. In addition to the scholarship, Hesse Scholars are asked to provide five hours of service a week to the College of Engineering, primarily through tutoring, in return for an additional annual $2,000 stipend. This is an opportunity to help your peers succeed, while deepening your knowledge of the subject matter you assist them with.
The FIRST Robotics Scholarships recognizes students who have participated in FIRST Robotics in high school. The FIRST Robotics Scholarship is an annually renewable $1,000 per year. There are no set obligations associated with receiving this scholarship, although students are strongly encouraged to continue to develop their skills by participating in Valpo Robotics. The scholarship recipients are selected based on their level of involvement in FIRST, the accomplishments of their FIRST team, their academic record, and other extracurricular activities.
Financial Aid And Student Accounts

Estimate Your Cost
The Net Price Calculator helps prospective undergraduate first-time freshmen and their families estimate the cost of attending Valparaiso University after grants and scholarships. Based on recent student award data, it provides an estimate of financial aid and remaining costs to help families plan ahead.
These estimates are not guarantees of aid, and students must still complete all admissions and financial aid requirements by the appropriate deadlines. Families with unusual financial circumstances are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid for assistance.
