If you let your fingers do the googling, you come up with the U. of Akron in the US:

http://www.uakron.edu/uakroncorrosion/

it appears to be a new program (First time in America!). I would contact them about the CE program and any questions you have about scholarships.

I would also suggest you contact the Nat. Assoc. of Corrosion Engineers (NACE).

Their Foundation has more information about becoming a CE.

Good Luck!
