Makam, Raj and Archana Endowed Scholarship

The Raj and Archana Makam Endowed Scholarship was established in February 2015 and revised in June 2019, when Raj and Archana Makam endowed the scholarship.  The scholarship was created in honor of Mr. Raj Makam’s legacy and pride of his alma mater, The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.

Mr. Makam, an immigrant from India, first arrived in the United States as a graduate student at The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.  Mr. Makam valued the education he received at the University, as well as the warm welcome by the University and the City of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ upon his arrival in ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.

The Raj and Archana Makam Endowed Scholarship will be awarded annually to a deserving female U.S. citizen currently residing in the United States and enrolled as a full-time major in Biomedical Engineering at the University.  Award amounts may vary, depending on the availability of funds.  The recipient will have at least a 3.0 grade point average.

In addition to the above criteria, a selection committee from the College of Engineering will consider students based on socioeconomic factors and demonstration of an exceptional work ethic.
