Mechanical Engineering Scholarship

This scholarship will assist me in my future pursuits at UNC Charlotte, there is no doubt about that. The money from this scholarship will benefit me greatly and help to give me the drive to achieve my very best in my field of engineering. Ever since I was a young child, I have been adept at taking things apart, putting things together, and letting my imagination run wild to produce unique ideas and designs. The generous assistance that this scholarship provides to me will used to help fund my tuition so that I may deepen my understanding of my chosen major, mechanical engineering. I will be able to expand my knowledge and become intimately familiar with what it takes to become an effective mechanical engineer. My record in high school shows that I value hard work

The affinity I have for engineering comes from, in part, my father who is a software engineer. I had always looked at his work with great interest, seeking to learn more and discover new things. My main focus in engineering is quite different, as the automotive field is something I am fanatical about. My parents tell me I was playing with cars before I could walk, by age 6 I could identify nearly every car in any given parking lot. Over the years I have become even more fascinated with these complex and intriguing machines. I had always been interested in how they work, how they become the sum of their parts and something more. The thinking that goes into them, the design, the engineering required in order to produce and effective product that will sell. My main interest lies in the world of motorsport, the thrill of competition, and the absolute top flight engineering required to succeed in a cut throat business such as the motor racing world. I aspire to work in the motorsports industry in the future, specifically as an engineer with a race
