About the Program

This scholarship program is intended to support promising high school seniors who intend to pursue a career in an engineering-related field and who live in communities where Electronic Systems is a major presence.

High-technology companies across the nation, like Northrop Grumman, continue to face a critical shortage of specialized engineering personnel we need for our businesses. Through this scholarship effort, we hope to motivate some of the brightest and best students -- with a background and interest in math and science -- to consider the engineering professions.

Individual scholarships of $10,000 are being awarded by Northrop Grumman to a qualified graduating high school senior in:

Maryland's 23 counties and in the city of Baltimore
(one scholarship in each county; one in Baltimore City)
