Dr. E. Roe and Penny Stamps

This national scholarship program is thanks to the vision and commitment of Dr. E. Roe Stamps and Penny Stamps. In 2000, Penny and Roe began funding merit-based scholarships for the Stamps Georgia Tech President’s Scholars. Six years later, through their vision and generosity, the Stamps Scholars Program was launched at Georgia and the University of Michigan. To date, this innovative program has funded multi-year scholarships for more than 1800 students at 44 colleges and universities nationwide.
