IMEG has awarded 30 scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year to students pursuing a STEM-related degree with an engineering focus, the Quad Cities-based IMEG announced this week.
The 30 recipients were selected from a pool of 121 applicants, vetted by 22 members of IMEG’s Community Involvement Committees from across the U.S. Scholarships of $10,000 were awarded to students in their sophomore through senior years who have great potential and are faced with challenging circumstances, the engineering design firm said.
IMEG launched the scholarship program in 2023 to help students who have great potential as tomorrow’s innovators but face barriers to success. IMEG has granted 93 scholarships to date.
“This scholarship not only eases the financial burden of my studies but also motivates me to continue striving for excellence in my academic and future professional career,” says Kettja Bennett, a civil engineering major at University of Nevada Reno, who was awarded a scholarship this year.
