SAGE Scholars Program Eligibility
Eligibility is determined by the program sponsor, the National Science Foundation.
Students must:
- Enroll full-time (at least 12 credits) at Boise State University
- Major in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (or pre-Mechanical Engineering), Materials Science & Engineering, Computer Science, or Engineering Plus
- Exhibit federal qualification for financial aid–students must have FAFSA on file for their application to be considered
- Place into Math 143 or Math 144 (SAT Math 540-650, ACT Math 23-28, or Boise State math placement test)**
- Have evidence of prior strong academic achievement
- Meet NSF S-STEM citizenship/residency requirements for scholarship funding
** There is some flexibility in this. Students who initially place into Math 143 or 144 and subsequently place into a higher math course may be admitted into the program on a case-by-case basis. Students who place into Math 108 (ACT 18-22, SAT 430-539) may be eligible with additional conditions.
