History

When the University started the Engineering School, with financial assistance from the State of Maryland, the trustees agreed to admit 129 Maryland students on scholarships with state funds. Thus the Scholarship Committee met to decide how the scholarship money should be allocated. In the minutes of the Board of Engineering Studies, 3 November 1921, "Dean Whitehead appointed a committee on materials for scholarship students." The committee decided how much scholarship money each individual student would get, and which students would get special scholarships, such as the Gilman Scholarship, University Scholarships, and corporate scholarships (such as Linde Air Products, Heyden Chemical Corporation).
