The SAE Doctoral Scholars Program is seeking qualified applicants for the 1999/2000 academic year. The program was established to assist and encourage promising graduate engineering students who are citizens of North America (U.S., Canada, or Mexico) to pursue careers in teaching engineering at the college level. For each year of teaching or appropriate proportion, one year’s loan will be forgiven. Chrysler Corporation has greatly enhanced the 1998/99 program and recipients of these awards will be recognized as Chrysler Fund Scholars.

Eligible candidates must hold a degree from an accredited under-graduate program and be accepted into a doctoral program at the time of application. Selection is based on scholastic achievement, desire to teach, interest in the mobility technology field, and the support of the SAE Collegiate Chapter where one exists.

Up to $5000 a year is available for up to three years. Funding levels at the time of selection will determine the number of loans and grants available for the 1999/2000 academic year.

Applications must be received by April 1, 1999. For more information, interested candidates may come to 405 Russ to view literature or contact:
