Ford Honors Former CEO with "Alan Mulally Leadership in Engineering Scholarship" Program

NORWALK, Ohio - Ford will honor their former CEO with the "Alan Mulally Leadership in Engineering Scholarship"; a $1 million program that will provide financial assistance to students pursuing a degree in automotive engineering. Alan Mulally not only had an engineering background and data-driven decision making, but he also brought a whole new level of leadership to Ford Motor Company. This is why Ford is not only looking to honor exceptional engineering students, but also those who will successfully lead the next generation within the industry.

The Alan Mulally Leadership in Engineering Scholarship program will run for 10 years, beginning in the spring of 2015. Each year, the Ford Fund will give $10,000 scholarships to 10 outstanding sophomore or junior engineering students at premier partner universities from around the globe. Ford Motor Company and Ford Motor Company Fund will both be making $500,000 contributions to help fund the scholarship program. 

The Ford Fund will be managing the program as apart of its "Ford Blue Oval Scholars" initiative. All of the the students who receive the scholarship will be connected with Ford's corporate science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) strategic initiative. With the help of these scholarship programs, Ford education efforts are supported and can be further utilized to develop a new generation of STEM leaders.
