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 program's initial cohort of 16 scholars started in the summer of 2018 and since its creation the program has supported over 100 UVA Engineering students with scholarships, along with academic and experiential learning aligned with the Foundation’s core pillars of global engagement, business acumen, service and leadership. The Program provides for faculty and program directors and engages with a vast Clark Scholars Program network across the country.
