CengageBrain, the premier destination for purchasing textbooks and learning solutions, has announced that it is accepting college scholarship applications from science and engineering students. The new scholarship is named after Dan Coiro, winner of America's Top TA Competition by CengageBrain.
In May this year, CengageBrain introduced their national competition, America's Top TA. College students from across the US were given the opportunity to recognise the teaching assistants (TAs) who have had the greatest impact on their education. After public nominations and voting, Dan Coiro, an Organic Chemistry TA at Rutgers University, won the first ever America's Top TA Competition. In his honour, The Dan Coiro Scholarship by CengageBrain was created in which three students will be awarded $2,500 to put towards college expenses.
The Dan Coiro Scholarship by CengageBrain is open to students pursuing a degree in science or engineering. To apply, students must submit a full application and a personal statement. CengageBrain is accepting applications now through January 31. Following the submission period, Dan Coiro will be selecting the three scholarship winners.
High school seniors and college students are encouraged to apply for consideration for one of the three Dan Coiro Scholarships through the CengageBrain blog.
