Angelo Brothers Scholarship Endowment

In 1996, Dr. E. James Angelo, Jr. (’39) and his brother, William E. “Bill” Angelo (’42), established the endowed Ernest James and Ethel Hudgins Angelo Memorial Scholarship in memory of their parents. This comprehensive scholarship — which provides full tuition, fees, room and board — helps its high-achieving recipients make a difference in the lives of others through engineering and a respect for the environment. Bill Angelo, a retired chemical engineer, recently announced a planned estate gift to increase the scholarship endowment. In an effort to give back to the community of their youth, the Angelo brothers have specified that the scholarship be awarded to students from Forsyth County, NC.

Ross W. Lampe Family Endowment

A $1 million gift from the Lampe family, which has a long history with the College of Engineering, created a $1 million professorship ($666,000 plus state matching funds of $334,000) within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The gift is intended to have a positive impact on research within the department, as it is to be awarded to the department’s top faculty research producer. The remaining $334,000 of the gift adds to the Dean’s unrestricted endowment fund.

Clancy & Theys Endowed Professorship

Having a historic connection to the College of Engineering and NC State at large, Clancy & Theys established the Clancy & Theys Endowed Professorship. Created by brothers Tim and Tick Clancy to honor the general contractor company’s deceased founder, E.I. Clancy, the professorship was endowed by the company for $1 million, triggering $500,000 in matching funds from the state of North Carolina.

Tom and Mimi Cunningham Scholarships

Tom (’71, ’74) and Mimi Cunningham have established a $1 million bequest with the NC State Engineering Foundation. It will provide full scholarships to students from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and it will add to the Dean’s unrestricted endowment fund.
