The Al-Ben Scholarship for High School Senior Awards will be granted based primarily upon the student's superlative scholastic achievements in the academic pursuits of engineering, math, computer studies or scientific studies education and upon exemplary actions in campus organizations, or community activities, while maintaining an excellent grade point average. The objective of the program is to stimulate and support the student's interest in these technical areas that traditionally have an underrepresentation of minority professionals. The program therefore seeks to encourage the student through scholarship awards and public recognition to maintain a high level of academic performance to achieve a successful career within these fields. The scholarship is currently open to students that will be attending a college in the United States; however, preference will be given to students that are Los Angeles area (Southern California) residents. Two letters of recommendation are required. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Los Angeles Council of Black Professional Engineers for more information.
