Mission

I attended the University of Cincinnati, Aerospace Engr, 1972. UC Engr has a mandatory co-op program. I worked at NASA and the Air Force before graduating. I can't make a strong enough recommendation for an engineering co-op school. Now, when I look at a UC engineering class picture, they all look like me, meaning no real diversity. Let's see what we can do to change that. I was an average student and scared to death that I might not be able to "cut it". If I can do it, you can do it.

    Dear Mr. Anderson, Words cannot even begin to describe the gratitude I feel. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for your generosity, your belief in diversity. Thank you for being the person that you are and giving future generations a chance to advance our society. I am forever grateful to you and your team, who have worked hard to get to where you are today. I can only hope to lead a life that reflects the same hard work and dedication. As I continue my studies, I will use this scholarship to aid my journey in engineering and gain experience to work toward my goals, to discover and improve the planet. This scholarship is a constant motivator that there are people who support and believe in the same cause as I do. I will always remember this kindness and try to pay it forward in any way I can. Thank you, Tracie Mankee

    Dear Charles, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for selecting me as a recipient of the Anderson Engineering Scholarship. Receiving this support truly means a lot to me, and it affirms my commitment to my studies and future in engineering. With this scholarship, I’m able to focus more deeply on my civil engineering coursework at Temple University, knowing that I have help covering some of the financial demands of college. Your generosity is lifting a significant weight from my shoulders, and it allows me to dedicate more energy to advancing my skills and growing as a young professional. Coming from Washington, D.C., and being in the early stages of my college journey, I've worked hard to carve a path forward—first as a computer science apprentice at Georgetown and now as a civil engineering major. Looking ahead, my goal is to contribute to infrastructure development and help shape better communities. Support like yours brings me closer to these aspirations and encourages me to persevere through any challenges. I’m truly inspired by your story and your mission to bring more diversity into engineering. Seeing someone who once faced the same doubts and succeeded gives me extra motivation to keep going. Your dedication to making engineering more inclusive is making a real difference, and I’m proud to be part of that change. Thank you for your kindness and for believing in students like me. Your support has an impact that goes far beyond financial help, and I look forward to, one day, giving back to others as you have. Thank you, Jaky Jackson

    Dear Mr. Anderson, I would like to profusely thank you for your generosity and belief in me, that I can make it, and that I am good enough. With this scholarship, I will be able to pursue my passion for research engineering, without having feelings of worry loom over me about tuition while studying to meet my goal. Eventually, I do hope through Research Engineering to make positive impacts through innovation and maybe even invention in a multitude of industries that will change and develop our planet for the better. Once again, thank you, not only for being kind, but for choosing to play a role in my academic journey and future career. Sincerely, Tracie Mankee
