Clark Scholars
More About Us

History and Vision
The Clark Scholars Program was established in 2017 within UVA’s School of Engineering and Applied Science through support from the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation and the Bicentennial Scholars Fund from the University of Virginia. Clark Scholars leave UVA with a legacy of success and go out into the world as leaders in the engineering and business community. The initial cohort of 16 scholars started in the summer of 2018, and over the next seven years, as the Clark Scholars endowment grows, the program will expand to a target enrollment of 60-75 scholars at its peak.
