As students, sometimes we hit these very deep lows, and knowing that when I hit those deep lows, I just can't give up because I have people out there that are investing in me to keep going and get through to the end.

Meet Funke Okunrinboye ’20, M.S. ’21. Currently pursuing her third degree from Maryland (a Ph.D. in chemical and biomolecular engineering), she was honored at the 2023 Scholarship & Fellowship Celebration, which acknowledges the generosity of and impact made by Maryland Engineering’s extended community of donors.

The Clark Doctoral Fellows Program, an initiative of the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation, supports high-performing Ph.D. students with four years of funding. As an impetus for research in strategic and vital areas, the Clark Doctoral Fellows Program supports 30 first-year doctoral students each year.
