Summary
On July 1, 2014, Alan Mulally stepped down as President and Chief Executive Officer of Ford Motor Company. To honor his outstanding service to Ford, the Company established a new global scholarship program – The Alan Mulally Leadership in Engineering Scholarship.

 The Alan Mulally Engineering Scholarship program is a $1,000,000 fund to be paid out at the rate of $100,000 per year for 10 years.
 This funding will support the awarding of ten $10,000 scholarships to outstanding sophomore or junior engineering students at ten premiere partner universities around the globe – one scholarship winner per school

Scholarship Process
 At least five of the schools will be U.S. based each year. For U.S. based schools, the Advisory Board will use Ford HR Recruiting’s list of Premier Recruiting Schools to select 5 final candidate schools. For the non-U.S. schools, each year The Advisory Board will reach out to Ford representatives from each region (NA, FSAO, FoE, APA) and select up to 5 schools to participate each year.
 To be considered for this scholarship, students will have to be entering their sophomore or junior years of study, meeting the specified minimum GPA requirement, pursuing a degree related in some way to automotive engineering, and have demonstrated leadership skills in academic or community-based settings.
