15 Juin 2016 - 7:00PM
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has announced the 24
winners of its 14th annual Engineering Scholars program, which will
provide $240,000 in college scholarships to high school seniors
across Maryland interested in studying engineering, computer
science, physics or math.
"Northrop Grumman is pleased to sponsor this scholarship
competition, which supports the pursuit of an engineering education
by some of the state's best-qualified math and science students,"
said Kathy Warden, corporate vice president and president of the
company's Linthicum-based Mission Systems sector. "These talented
young men and women can be among the future technology and
innovation leaders of our country."
The Northrop Grumman Engineering Scholars program is aimed at
supporting promising high school seniors who intend to pursue a
career in an engineering-related field. Candidates must plan to
attend an accredited college or university school of engineering as
a full-time student in an approved engineering program. The funds
can be used for tuition, books, room and board, and lab fees.
A committee of Northrop Grumman employees selected the
Engineering Scholars winners. To be eligible, each scholarship
applicant had to be a resident of Maryland and a graduating senior
this spring from a public or accredited private high school in the
state. Applicants also needed a minimum composite SAT score of
1,700 or ACT score of 27 and a minimum GPA of 3.5. Recipients of
any other Northrop Grumman-sponsored scholarship were not eligible.
The committee also took into consideration work experience,
community involvement and extracurricular activities.
Following are the names of the students from 23 Maryland
counties and the city of Baltimore who will each be receiving
merit-based scholarships of $10,000 – payable in four yearly $2,500
installments – during an awards reception and dinner hosted by
