Foundation Surpasses Goals on Scholarship Drive

The UMCOE Foundation responded to the request in May 2012 by the Dean’s Engineering Advisory Council (DEAC) to support the shortfall in the College of Engineering’s Scholarship Fund.  Some students who met the merit requirements for the Dean’s fund were unable to receive scholarships due to this shortfall. The many donors to the Foundation for this scholarship fund campaign allowed the Foundation to contribute $34,500 to the COE in August 2012.  In addition, the Foundation Board of Directors voted to pass all of these contributions directly to the COE without applying any administrative overhead.
