The Turgut Ozan Endowed Scholarship in Engineering supports students majoring in any of the six undergraduate engineering programs offered at St. Mary's University. Our students come from all over the United States and the world, but the majority of them are from right here in Texas. After graduation, they may go on to graduate school at such places as Georgia Tech University, Rice University, or the University of Texas. Or, they may head straight to the workplace with companies such as Dell, Texas Instruments, Motorola, or Verizon. However, it all starts at St. Mary’s, and that’s where we need your help.

Scholarship support is the number one goal of St. Mary's University. The University awards more than $2 million each year in scholarships but more help is needed. Average tuition and fees for an undergraduate student is more than $21,000 a year. By awarding scholarships, we can help ease the financial burden that our students must often bear, even after graduation. A scholarship award can make the difference between a high school senior choosing St. Mary’s over another university or a freshman student having to work a part-time job versus having the opportunity to enjoy the unique campus life at St. Mary's.

With your help, we can make a difference to the current and future students who want to pursue an engineering education at St. Mary’s. The Department of Engineering has set a substantial goal for the Ozan Scholarship: $1 million! The scholarship currently stands at more than $70,000. As you can see, we have a challenge before us, but one we are confident to meet.
