Created by the Engineering Faculty/Staff Campaign Committee, this award provides financial assistance to full-time College of Engineering staff or their dependents to be used for educational expenses in any discipline at any Penn State location.

Nominations will be accepted from engineering staff members and are due by Apr. 30. The nomination includes an essay written by the staff member describing the applicant's (staff member, spouse, or child) educational goals.

The recipient will be selected by a committee of two retired engineering faculty or staff and one campaign committee member. The recipient will receive $500 that will be deposited directly in their Penn State student account for use during the upcoming academic year.

Those not selected will be notified and may re-apply the following year. A recipient may receive this award only once. Submit nominations to Cindy Jones, 101 Hammond Building, University Park.
