The A. James Clark Scholars Program at Georgia Tech is dedicated to creating engineers of the future.
Student scholars embody an entrepreneurial spirit and community-minded values. At Georgia Tech, students are exposed to cutting-edge academic research programs and thought leaders in business and entrepreneurship.
The Clark Scholars Program goes beyond academics. Students gain experience and knowledge through hands-on learning and real-world problem solving. Clark Scholars expand their creativity and innovation at engineering makerspaces, such as the Van Leer Interdisciplinary Design Commons, the Flowers Invention Studio, or the new AI Makerspace.
A reading committee and program administrators identify 10 first-year students each fall for this cohort-based program. Scholars make up just 0.003% of first-year students admitted to the College of Engineering.
