Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship

Amazon Future Engineer is aimed at U.S. high-school seniors planning a computing-related degree. The program lists up to $10,000 per year for as many as four years, plus an opportunity for a paid Amazon internship after the first college year. Funding is adjusted to a student’s unmet need up to the annual cap, so the advertised maximum is not an automatic award for every selected applicant.

Published criteria include financial need, a cumulative GPA of at least 2.3, and plans for a bachelor’s in computer science, software or computer engineering, electrical engineering, or another related major. Applicants must have taken high-school computer science or complete an assessment offered by Amazon, and be authorized to work in the United States. The page says the 2025–26 round is closed and the next opening date has not been announced; students can sign up for updates.

The scholarship may renew for up to three additional years or until the degree is earned, subject to full-time enrollment and good academic standing. The internship offers experience on engineering teams and professional mentoring, according to the program. Before applying, review eligible majors and gather need information, a transcript, and computer-science coursework details. Do not use old flyers as a current calendar; the official page is the source for the next portal opening.

To estimate the real cost, ask the school for a written calculation separating tuition, fees, housing, and expenses the award does not cover. Confirm whether aid can renew and what academic progress it requires. Keep the award letter and verify when funds will be applied to the student account.
