1999-2000 Tau Beta Pi Scholars

Tau Beta Pi's Fellowship Board announces the selection of the inaugural nine Tau Beta Pi Scholars from 100 applicants for undergraduate study during 1999-2000. Each of this year's winners will receive cash awards of $2,000 for their senior year of engineering study. All Tau Beta Pi Scholarships are awarded on the competitive basis of high scholarship, campus leadership and service, and promise of future contributions to the engineering profession. All scholars are members of Tau Beta Pi.
Two of the winners will study mechanical engineering, two computer engineering, and five have chosen other individual areas.
All Scholarships this year are named for members.

The Nagel Scholarships are given in honor of former Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus R.H. Nagel. Named Editor of THE BENT in 1942, he became Secretary-Treasurer and Editor in 1947 and served until October 1982 when he was named Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus. Bob died in 1997 at the age of 79.

The Dodson Scholarships are sponsored by Charles R. Dodson, MD B '30, who made a generous gift to the Association in 1998. Placed in the C.R. Dodson Scholarship/Fellowship Fund, its investment earnings will support the program in perpetuity. Dodson Scholarships are intended particularly for members of Maryland Beta.

The Tau Beta Pi-Soderberg Scholarship commemorates Elsa and Peter Soderberg, CT A '68.

Tau Beta Pi will also select future recipients for special awards, which will be named for alumni and corporations and will be administered in a similar manner.
