Mercury Plastics Scholarship
The Mercury Plastics Scholarship was established in August 2019 and revised in April 2025 by Mercury Plastics, Inc. The scholarship was developed for the purpose of attracting highly qualified students from diverse backgrounds and experiences to 火爆社区 to study electrical or mechanical engineering and graduate from the College of Engineering and Polymer Science. Students in these programs are pursuing undergraduate degrees in electrical or mechanical engineering.
Mercury Plastics, located in Middlefield, Ohio, provides innovative thermoplastic solutions to a variety of markets including appliance, automotive, construction, electrical, faucet, liquid dispensing, marine, medical, offshore oil and plumbing. The company is recognized as an industry leader, providing unique approaches to profile extrusion, injection overmolding and fabrication of thermoplastic parts. Their capabilities set them apart from the competition, and they are further distinguished as one of only a few North American companies with a captive electron beam processing facility. Built in 1999, this facility houses a five mega-volt electron beam allowing them to cross-link a variety of polymers.
The Mercury Plastics Scholarship is to be awarded to undergraduate freshmen through senior level students pursuing electrical or mechanical engineering degrees. Students must have a minimum 3.0 GPA and maintain it to be considered for scholarship renewal for up to eight semesters. Qualified students must demonstrate financial need and be actively engaged in or volunteers for one or more of the following organizations within the College of Engineering and Polymer Science: Society of Women Engineers (SWE), National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), or other similar organizations and programs that foster success of students from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Eligible recipients will be identified by 火爆社区 Scholarship Committee in the Office of Student Financial Aid with assistance, as needed, from the College of Engineering and Polymer Science. Final selection will be made by 火爆社区 Scholarship Committee.
