Foisie Scholars Program at WPI

The Foisie Scholars Program is an exciting new scholars program for selected undergraduate applicants. Beginning with students admitted to WPI in Fall 2009, WPI will select up to 10 Foisie Scholars. Each scholar will receive a four-year, full-tuition scholarship and a one-time $5,000 allowance to be used for a WPI Global Studies experience.

This special new program is made possible through the vision and generosity of Robert and Janet Foisie. Robert Foisie received a mechanical engineering degree from WPI in 1956 and a master’s degree from Cornell University in 1958. Foisie’s many accomplishments in the field of engineering demonstrate his commitment to excellence and his passion for problem solving, both of which were fostered by WPI’s unique academic program.

All applicants to WPI will be given consideration for the Foisie Scholarship. Students wishing to strengthen their candidacy may submit the Foisie Scholars supplemental form as well as additional letters of reference. Download the Foisie Scholars supplemental form (PDF).

Please note that this scholar program does not cover the cost of room and board. Please feel free to learn more at: http://admissions. wpi.edu/Foisie/ .
