The A. James Clark Scholarship Endowment has provided financial support for untold numbers of undergraduate engineering students. A. James Clark attended the University of Maryland on a state scholarship; he paid only for his books. That investment in Clark’s future and his positive campus experiences inspired a lifelong commitment to the university. An incredible work ethic fueled Clark’s success in the construction field and led him to become Chairman and CEO of Clark Enterprises, which includes the Clark Construction Group, one of the nation’s largest general contractors.
