Expanding Student Opportunities
Robert (Bob) Rutherford, 1978 aerospace engineering alum and former Navy fighter pilot, credits scholarships for bolstering student success. His mother endowed the Benjamin W. Cowperthwait Memorial Scholarship, which supports nontraditional students like Pablo Luna Falcon, who graduated with a bachelor’s in 2024.
"Thanks to engineering scholarship donors, I had the opportunity of doing so much more than classes. I developed professional and technical skills while working with talented research groups within and outside the U of A."
