The Case Alumni scholarship amounts vary, the student has to apply in the sophomore year, and without financial hardship, the additional amount was $1000 /semester for a total of an extra $4000. Some students got more. So this can boost the amount of the scholarship, once a student is at Case and doing well, and willing to write the essay to win this additional money. Also, co op programs for engineering majors pay good salaries. Some Case students fund their entire education with pay they earn themselves. It lengthens the education to five years, but it pays for itself. Students take semesters working at Cleveland companies. Then they may have offers from these firms upon graduation as well.
