Frequently Asked Questions
What is required of me as a Honeywell IPP scholar?
You must maintain a GPA of at least 3.0, participate in semi-monthly webinars, attend NSBE’s National Convention and engage in chapter activities.
What if my GPA drops below a 3.0, what will happen to my scholarship?
Scholars who no longer meet the 3.0 GPA requirement will be given one semester to meet the program standard.
What if I have a scheduling conflict that prevents me from attending webinars, meetings, check-ins, etc.?
It should be a priority to attend these events, however, life happens. If you find yourself in this situation, a case by case assessment will be provided in lieu of the missed activity.
I graduate in 2021, will I receive payments per the contract until 2022?
No, you are only eligible for payments while you are enrolled in school.
How often will I receive the scholarship money?
For the 2019-2020 school year, you will receive a one-time payment in the spring semester via Bill.com. Moving forward, the scholarship payments will be made to eligible students in the spring and fall semesters.
I am a junior and am in need of an internship, is this still possible for summer 2020?
Scholars’ information who have expressed interest in this opportunity have been forwarded to the Honeywell team. Honeywell will take a look at their current openings and match the scholar.
If I have questions about my internship, who do I contact?
Brandon Stephens, brandon.stephens@honeywell.com.
What if I am unable to secure an internship with Honeywell for the 2020 summer? Will that prevent Honeywell from viewing me as a candidate for employment?
No. For graduating students, we want to discuss full time offers. Sophomores and juniors, we want to discuss internships.
What does the mentorship piece look like?
It is designed to be a group based cohort. NSBE students will be paired with early career Honeywell engineer and it is the role of your mentor to acclimate you and your transition into the workplace. More details to come.
What if my mentor is not responding?
