PAE Diversity in Engineering Scholarship
In partnership with the Architecture Foundation of Oregon (AFO), the PAE Diversity in Engineering Scholarship supports climate-focused engineering students across the U.S.
This $5,000 scholarship is open to undergraduate students who are marginalized by ethnicity and/or gender, pursuing engineering with a passion for climate justice at an accredited four-year university in the United States.
Established in 2025 with the support of PAE's JEDI Committee, this scholarship reflects PAE's commitment to increasing racial and gender diversity within the engineering profession. Scholarship funds help offset direct educational costs, allowing students to focus on achieving their academic goals. Awardees are invited to connect with PAE’s community of building and design professionals and receive opportunities for mentorship and career development.
Applications for the 2026 scholarship are now open and due by February 22, 2026. PAE and AFO encourage engineering students of marginalized ethnicities and genders to apply—particularly those with a passion for climate action and a desire to impact communities through engineering.
PAE welcomes contributions to the scholarship fund to help expand access and opportunity for future engineers.
The Architecture Foundation of Oregon educates and inspires Oregonians of all ages and backgrounds to engage in the design of our built environment. Their scholarship program supports future AEC professionals and the growth of the next generation of designers and engineers.
