Engineers for Tomorrow Goals:

2. Benefit Illinois-Iowa employers in their recruitment and retention of young engineering graduates.
3. Return the best and brightest to their hometown region.

Two Specific Missions:

1. Begin as early as junior high school to encourage children to take the appropriate courses in math and science for engineering.
2. Encourage high school students to consider completing a degree in engineering at Bradley University.

Key Points of the Program

1. Specifically adapted to the needs and resources of each locality where it is established.
2. Together with local school, businesses, civic and development organizations and foundations.
   • Cooperate to design, fund, and administer each local program.
   • Develop presentations, projects and programs to interest students in engineering and direct them toward class choices that will prepare them for an engineering education.
   • Coordinate with local community colleges on appropriate curriculum for pre-engineering.
   • Provide substantial tuition reduction to participating scholarship students who attend Bradley.
3. Local businesses provide direction, leadership, funding and administrative assistance to the program. They will provide summer jobs and internships to student participants.
4. Local development groups, business - civic organizations and foundations assist with development, administration and funding of the local program.
5. Participating sponsors of the local program will choose local scholarship recipients, who may be required to work in the local area for a period of time after receiving an engineering degree.
