Is there is any scholarships program to study aerospace engineering abroad?

Hello Sahil Minj,

What is aerospace engineering?

• It is the construction, design and maintenance of aircrafts, missiles, spacecrafts and weapon systems. Main focuses include fuel efficiency, flight safety, environmental impact and operating costs.
• The two fields in which you can work as an aerospace engineer are research and development, and testing and maintenance.
• Aerospace engineers also work on finding malfunvtions in the parts and investigation of air craft crashes.
• The course includes the study of Fluid Mechanics, Astro-dynamics, Statics and Dynamics (engineering mechanics), Mathematics, Electrotechnology, Control engineering, Aircraft structures, Materials science, Solid mechanics, Aeroelasticity, Avionics, Software, Risk and reliability, Noise control, Aeroacoustics, Flight test etc.

Top colleges for aerospace engineering are:

• Fulton School of Engineering, Arizona State University, USA
• Clarkson University, USA
• California Institute of Technology, USA
• University of Glasgow, UK
• Cranfield University, UK
• Loughborough University, UK
• University of Toronto, Canada
• Centennial College, Canada
• The University of Sydney, Australia
• The University of Adelaide (UoA), Australia
• University of Sheffield, UK
• University of Liverpool, UK
• Coventry University, UK
• University of Central Lancashire, UK
• University of Leeds, UK
• Virginia Tech, USA
• Technical University of Munich, Germany

In order to apply and attain scholarships you need to appear for certain internationally recognised examinations like SAT, ACT, TOEFL iBT, IELTS, CAE and CPE.

These examinations test you in the following parameter english, mathematics, science, social sciences, humanities, listening, speaking and writing.

1. For testing English:

• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for countries like USA and Canada.
• International English Language Testing System (IELTS) for countries like UK, Australia and New Zealand.
• The Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) and The Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) for countries like UK.

2. Testing of other parameters:

• SAT - It tests you in critical reading and comprehension, mathematics and Writing.
• ACT - It tests you in english, mathematics, reading comprehension, grammar, science with an optional writing section.

Other information for applying:

• Along with them you might have to give SAT Subject Test if asked by the colleges you are applying to. Theses will test your high school level knowledge on subjects whose exams you appear for.
• In UK you will have to apply through UCAS.
• Certain educational courses in public universities of countries like Germany, France and Norway do not charge tution fees.

Scholarships and Aids for International Students wanting to study abroad are:

• Malaysia International Scholarship (MIS) : It is a scholarship funded by the government of Malaysia and awrded to international students wanting to study in Malaysian Universities.
• NUS Science and Technology Undergraduate Scholarship : Scholarship for Asian students wanting to study in Singapore. The scholarship covers compulasry fess, tution fess, living costs etc. Given through universities, no other examinations required.
• QMUL International Science and Excellence Awards : Scholarships for international to study engineering at Queen Mary University of London, UK.

• AACE International Scholarships : STEM scholarships for studying full time engineering or any other STEM subject. Various funds are available for international students wanting to study in the US.
• LMI Aerospace Scholarship : This is a scholarship provided to students enrolled in Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA. The scholarship offers you with $4,750.
• Air League Engineering Scholarship : This is a scholarship provided in the UK. It iffers a theo week work placements with the leading flying school or aersospace companies. It pays for travel, meals and basic bed and breakfast stays. Application forms will be available from January and the application prcess closes in February.
• Texas A&M University Aerospace Engineering Scholarship : Texas A&M University offers scholarships for undergraduate students enrolled in the Aerospace Engineering programme. Each scholarship offered has its own criteria like scholastis acievement, extra curricular achievement, financial need etc.
• Many universities across the globe also help you find part-time jobs in order to help you with your fees. These part-time jobs include assisting under professors, being lab assistants, copy work, tution to other students etc.

All the best!

I hope this helps!
