We would like to endow this fund at $100,000, which would generate $4,000 in scholarship awards. This Scholarship fund will continue to support hundreds of Material Science students for many years to come. We ask that you consider making a 5-year pledge to maximize your gift to this scholarship endowment. All donors who pledge $5,000 or more will be recognized on a plaque in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. Gifts of any amount are appreciated.
