NORTHROP GRUMMAN AWARDS 24 STUDENTS SCHOLARSHIPS

Northrop Grumman honored 24 Maryland high school seniors earlier this month in an awards reception at the Marriott Renaissance Baltimore Harbor Hotel. This is the 14th year that Northrop Grumman provided more than $240,000 through the annual Engineering Scholars Program. The scholarships are awarded exclusively to students from Maryland who are interested in studying engineering, computer science, physics or math at an accredited college or university.

“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.”

Rigorous application requirements for the scholarship include a score of a 27 on ACTs, 1700 on SATs and at least a 3.5 GPA. The application committee also looked closely at students’ work experience, community involvement and extracurricular activities. Each student receives $10,000, paid in four yearly installments, to be used for tuition, books, room and board and lab fees.

Northop Grumman is a corporation that is committed to the enhancement and engagement of STEM students globally. Along with the Engineering Scholars Program, they fund various STEM programs for all levels of education, with a particular focus on middle school aged children. They are also a major corporate sponsor of the Maryland Teacher of the Year competition, and their foundation contributed over $17 million to a varied selection of STEM related groups.
