Department Scholarships Specifically for UNCG Computer Science Students

Suthaharan Family Scholarship

Prof. Suthaharan joined the UNCG Department of Computer Science as a faculty member in 2001, and has been a major influence in the academic success of many students over the years. He has been particularly moved by students who overcome personal challenges and disabilities, and excel in their study of computer science. Along with his family, Prof. Suthaharan has established a scholarship to provide support for Computer Science undergraduates that encounter particular challenges in pursuing their academic goals. This scholarship is designated for students with financial need (as determined by a FAFSA filing with the Officie of Financial Aid), with special consideration given to students with disabilities. To apply, students should fill out an application form, which should be submitted along with supplemental materials by April 15 to the Department of Computer Science (either hardcopy or emailed to computerscience@uncg.edu).

Suthaharan Family Scholarship in Data Science

Prof. Suthaharan and his family have established a second scholarship to reward high-performing students with an interest in Data Science. To be eligible for this scholarship, students must be in the Data Science and Big Data Concentration in Computer Science (either undergraduate or graduate programs), and must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Eligible students who wish to apply should fill out a Suthaharan Family Scholarship in Data Science application form, which should be submitted along with any supplemental materials by April 15 to the Department of Computer Science (either hardcopy or emailed to computerscience@uncg.edu).

Other Important Scholarships

STAMPS Scholarships

The STAMPS (Science, Technology, and Math Preparation Scholarships) program is an NSF-funded scholarship program to support UNCG students in the STEM disciplines (Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Mathematics/Statistics, and Physics/Astronomy). Incoming undergraduate students are automatically considered for this scholarship, and there is no separate application process. For more information about the STAMPS program, see the STAMPS web page.

UPE Scholarships

UPE, the International Honor Society for the Computing and Information Disciplines, has a scholarship that is open to active members of UPE, and provide from $1,000 to $2,500. Any active members of UNCG’s UPE chapter are welcome to apply. More information can be found at the UPE Scholarship web site.
