Thank you all for giving so generously to the Henry Dennis Babers and Phillips H. Izard Engineering Scholarship for Veterans. Your gifts have allowed us to reach nearly 40% of our goal of $3,000. Today, on #GivingTuesday, an annual day of giving around the world, we have an opportunity to bring more attention to this project! Please consider lending your voice to this vital fundraising effort today – on #GivingTuesday – by sharing this project on social media and with your family and friends. Together, we can encourage others to support engineering student veterans through the Babers and Izard Scholarship! Hotty Toddy!
In 1900, the University of Mississippi established the state's first School of Engineering, with civil and electrical engineering programs. Today, hundreds of students pursue degrees in civil, electrical, biomedical, chemical, computer, geological, and mechanical engineering, as well as computer science and geology.
Capt. Phillips H. Izard graduated from the School of Engineering with a degree in geological engineering in 1963. A member of the Army ROTC program, he was commissioned into the Army Corps of Engineers. Give $63 in honor of this member of the class of 1963.
Lt. Henry Dennis Babers graduated from the School of Engineering with a degree in mechanical engineering in 1966. He was a member of the Ole Miss Navy ROTC program and was commissioned into the U.S. Marine Corps. Give $66 in honor of this member of the class of 1966.
Both Babers and Izard were members of the Scabbard and Blade college military honor society, which has been in existence for the past 117 years. Please consider a gift of $117 in honor of the Scabbard and Blade.
The average student veteran aided by the Babers-Izard Engineering Scholarship will receive $1,000. Your gift of $1,000 will provide a scholarship to a deserving student veteran this year! Please give now!
