Three Scholarships Available for ENST Ecological Technology Design Majors
Three scholarships created by and funded by agricultural engineers many years ago are available to help ENST Ecological Technology Design students. Two of them are 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 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 in the spring right before spring break using the application form below. Students should save the pdf form (link below) to their computer before starting and then submit to shannonp@umd.edu by March 26, 2021.
