Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Students to Benefit from Major Donation

Dr. and Mrs. Robert Long have given a generous six-figure gift to the UNM School of Engineering for two endowed Presidential Scholarships for undergraduate students. These scholarships, available to New Mexico’s best and brightest students, cover 90 to 100 percent of an undergraduate student’s costs. The gift is also being used to create the Long Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Chair endowment. The money will be used by the department chair for current needs.
