Scholarships Available for ENST Ecological Technology Design Majors
Two scholarships created by and funded by agricultural engineers many years ago are available to help ENST Ecological Technology Design students.
One of them is the ASABE Washington, DC – Maryland Section Scholarship funded by donations of many agricultural engineers in the local area. It was started in 1975 and gave its first scholarship in 1981. The engineers felt it was their responsibility to assist worthy students with financial need to achieve their education. Environmental stewardship was one of their interests.
The other is the Robert L. and Frances C. Green Scholarship created by family members. Dr. Green served as Chair of the Department of Agricultural Engineering here at the University of Maryland form 1965 to 1979 and as Acting Director of the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station from 1972 to 1976. Dr. Green was very involved in soil and water conservation work.
An undergraduate student in his/her Junior year in the ENST Ecological Technology Design major can apply for a scholarship grant to assist in academic expenses for the senior year.
