In an effort to continue to support our students’ progression to degree completion during these difficult times, the UofM is offering direct financial support to students for Summer 2020:

1. We will provide a direct grant to all students enrolled in summer online courses for the amount of the online fees they would have been charged. The $50 per student credit hour translates up to $150 per three credit hours, or up to $300 per six credit hours or two classes.
2. We are expanding the 3+3 program for all Freshmen and Sophomores and will be provide a direct grant to cover the cost of the second 3 credit hour class taken by eligible students. The direct financial support will be calculated based on your residency status for the assessed tuition.
3. For our upper class student populations (juniors and seniors), we are offering a $500 grant to assist juniors and seniors with their costs when enrolled for two classes in the summer 2020 semester. The additional direct grant will be on top of the grant that students will receive to cover the online course fees. For a student taking two classes, or six credit hours, this will result in a total grant amount of $800.

We strongly encourage all students to take advantage of these aid programs to continue their academic careers and progression toward degree completion. Please contact the Scholarship Office should you have any questions at scholarships@memphis.edu or visit memphis.edu/scholarships/threeplusthree.php.

Before break, Eng TECH Student, John Forsyth, had his project "Using Voice Commands To Start A Jeep" featured on the website Hackaday.

I ment to post it after break, but with everything that happened, it slipped my mind untill now.

It was also picked up by a 2nd website: Hackster

Considering that John is just now taking Microprocessors (TECH 3233), I can't wait to see what he cooks up for his senior project.....
