The Multicultural Engineering program is aimed towards the recruitment and support of engineering students who come from diverse backgrounds with the purpose of fostering an inclusive environment and community in the College of Engineering. This program helps students to succeed throughout their college careers by fostering a holistic support network between students, faculty and staff. Scholarships of $1,000 to $5,000 are awarded to new students in engineering each year with funds from generous companies, alumni and friends of the college.

The MEP Scholarships are awarded based on academic merit (GPA and ACT/SAT score) and financial need. They are renewable for three years based on MU academic performance
