Scholarships for ENST Ecological Technology Design Juniors

Three scholarships created and funded by agricultural engineers are available to help ENST Ecological Technology Design students. Two are the ASABE Washington, DC – Maryland Section Scholarships 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 third is the Robert L. and Frances C. Green Scholarship created by their family members. Dr. Green served as Chair of the Department of Agricultural Engineering here at the University of Maryland from 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. Undergraduate students in their Junior year in the ENST Ecological Technology Design major can apply for a scholarship grant to assist in academic expenses for the senior year. Junior year is recommended to ensure students still have two more semesters at UMD before graduating, though some transfer students may be “seniors” and also have two or more more semesters due to extra classes required to catch up with their peers. Students are encouraged to apply around spring break using the application form at https://enst.umd.edu/undergraduate/opportunities-support. Students should save the fillable application form to their computer before starting, and submit the completed application to Dr. Shannon P. Browne at shannpb@umd.edu before March 31, 2022. Scholarship scoring is based on the following criteria: Scholarship Criteria Maximum Points Scholarship (40) Financial Need (20) Professional society/club/ technology activities (15) Other extracurricular activities – UM, ANGR, community service, Athletic, religious, etc. (15) Agribusiness and/or environmental work experience (10) Total (100) Award Washington, DC – Maryland ASABE Section Scholarship $1,500 Robert L. and Frances C. Green Scholarship $1,000 Application Students should save the fillable application form to their computer before starting, and submit the completed application to Dr. Shannon P. Browne at shannpb@umd.edu before March 31, 2022. Awards will be announced later in the spring semester. Half the award payment will be posted to student's UMD financial accounts in late summer for use in the following fall semester and then during late fall/winter for use during spring semester of their senior year. (It is expected that the student have two or three semesters to graduation).
