About First in Family Energy Scholarship
The First in Family project is designed to work hand in hand with the UConn Engineering GK-12 program.
Funded by the National Science Foundation’s S-STEM (Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) program, First in Family will provide scholarships to students from the Connecticut Technical High School System who are interested in careers in engineering.
This program will fund 20 scholarships of up to $6,500 for students from economically disadvantaged families, with a particular focus on those who will be the first in their families to attend college.

FEBRUARY 5, 2025, 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM (EASTERN STANDARD TIME).
Join International Studies Association (Global Affairs) and the European International Studies Association (ISA and EISA) for a roundtable that will explore the shifting dynamics of the international order, focusing on the current power structure, its characteristics, and underlying norms.
With a landscape marked by intensifying strategic competition and rising populism across the globe, the role of key powers like the United States, China, and other influential actors has become both pivotal and complex. We will examine whether we are witnessing a transition toward a multipolar or bipolar system or if unipolarity dynamics persist beneath recent changes.
The Trump administration’s approach, including its populist rhetoric and “America First” strategy, will be discussed as part of a broader examination of how these trends impact alliances, global norms, and the potential for stability—or disruption—in the international order.
