C. Norman Eckert Undergraduate Scholarship

The Tau Beta Pi Beta Chapter is accepting applications for the C. Norman Eckert Scholarship now through March 19th 2023 at 11:59 PM. Two scholarships will be awarded this spring; one to an underclassmen undergraduate who has completed 3 or fewer semesters in the Clark School and one to an upperclassmen undergraduate who has completed 4 or more semesters in the Clark School.

Each year the Maryland Beta Chapter of Tau Beta Pi has the opportunity to award students of the A. James Clark School of Engineering scholarships thanks to and funded by the C. Norman Eckert Endowment. This endowment is a scholarship program created by the late Mr. Eckert’s family following his tragic death only months after his graduation from the University of Maryland. Per the tenets of this endowment, these scholarships are to be awarded based on merit, service to the university and to the greater community, and need.

Deadline: March 19th 2023 at 11:59 PM

Eligibility: ANY engineering student in the Clark School; those with 3 or fewer semesters completed as a member of the school should apply as an Underclassman while those with 4 or more completed should select Upperclassman.
