Description
The Jeanie S. McCoy Scholarship recognizes a deserving woman pursuing an education in and a future career in tribology—the science of friction, wear, and lubrication. Offered by the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), it supports female undergraduate and graduate students pursuing engineering or science degrees applicable to the field.
The scholarship is part of STLE’s Presidential Awards Program, administered by the STLE Presidential Council. The program encourages advanced study and careers in tribology or lubrication engineering by subsidizing related research projects. The McCoy award also emphasizes written communication: selection considers an essay submitted for publication in Tribology & Lubrication Technology (TLT) magazine, alongside a faculty or educator recommendation and extracurricular activities.
