The Dayton Area Graduate Studies program (DAGSI) is encouraging DAGSI students to take advantage of the expanded opportunities and resource base available through the DAGSI partnership and the DAGSI Program Enhancement Scholarships. These scholarships are offered to encourage DAGSI students to take courses outside their Home Institution when such courses would strengthen their programs of study. Scholarships are available only to degree-seeking, full admissions, regular graduate engineering students. These scholarships are non-competitive, and student eligibility requirements are simply that the student is in good standing at his or her Home Institution, at the time of application. Scholarships are awarded on a first come/first serve basis until the allocated funds are exhausted. Interested students should contact their faculty advisor prior to class registration.
