      are eligible to apply. &#160;If awarded for the junior year, the scholarship can be &lt;br /&gt;
      renewed for the senior year. H ayward scholarships are given to outstanding &lt;br /&gt;
      engineering students on the basis of academic achievement, service, leadership, &lt;br /&gt;
      and initiative. &#160;The application can be downloaded at&lt;br /&gt;
