Corrosion engineering students recognized by national corrosion engineering foundation

Seven students from UA’s Department of Chemical, Biomolecular, and Corrosion Engineering Department were awarded in total $38,000 in scholarships from NACE International Foundation. Recipients were chosen by selection committees based on their academic excellence, work experience, professional activities, and commitment to the corrosion industry. All students are studying corrosion engineering.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, recipients were unable to be honored in person at the ceremony and GenNEXT Bash that was to be held at the annual CORROSION 2020 Conference and Expo in March.

UA has the first and only baccalaureate degree in corrosion engineering in the nation. The program incorporates workforce training and world-class research in corrosion and materials performance.

“Receiving these scholarships from the most distinguished corrosion organization really means a lot to me,” says Jayme Jennings. “It feels great to have NACE recognize all the work I have put into my education, and I am so grateful.”

Congratulations to our scholarship winners Robert Giebel, Jayme Jennings, Keston Klimek, Helen Nee, Seungyun Ryu, Padraig Stack, and Emily Ulshafer.
