All MESA Creators are challenged to apply to at least 1 scholarship. Because you excel in your classes, you are great candidates for scholarship awards. But to apply for scholarships, you must make it a priority: some MESA Creators have a goal of applying to 1 scholarship each month; other MESA Creators apply to as many as possible, but the point is that you must apply, apply and apply!

Did you know?
MESA Creator Gaby Baylon earned over $30,000 in scholarships when she transferred to UCSD! Gaby has since earned her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and has entered the Ph.D. program in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford!
