Background and purpose

The Robert I‐Jen and Sophia Shui‐Kan Jung Graduate Scholarship in Engineering was established by Robert I‐Jen, M.S. ME'68, and Sophia Shui‐Kan Jung to support Kansas State University, the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering and graduate students.

This scholarship recognizes outstanding engineering graduate students from the People's Republic of China, or PRC, and the Republic of China, or ROC. Award levels are $6,000 per year for doctorate students and $3,000 per year for master's students.

Eligibility

An applicant for this scholarship must be an admitted full-time or current full-time student in good standing within a Carl R. Ice College of Engineering on‐campus graduate program. Master's students must be in the thesis option. Recipients of this scholarship must be citizens from the PRC or ROC. The scholarship is for one year and can be renewed once during a degree program. Previous scholarship recipients will need to reapply for the second year of the scholarship. Recipients of a K-State engineering Ph.D. fellowship are not eligible to receive a Jung Graduate Scholarship during the same academic year.

Application process

Applications for this scholarship will be collected in March of each year. Funds will be awarded for the fall semester of the upcoming academic year.

The materials noted below should be submitted in PDF format to ergp@k-state.edu by March 1, 2024.
