The Clark Scholars Program
The Clark Scholars Program Stevens Institute of Technology aims to prepare students to emulate the legacy of Mr. A. James Clark—exemplified by leadership, humanitarianism, business acumen, and technical prowess—as undergraduate students and later as professionals in their field. Clark Scholars follow a rigorous technical curriculum in engineering, computer science, or cybersecurity and participate in numerous co-curricular opportunities to enhance their Stevens experience. Clark Scholars will earn a minimum of nine credit hours in leadership, business, and ethics to complement their technical and general education curriculum.
The Clark Scholars Program at Stevens is an invitation-only scholarship program for exceptional students who are traditionally underrepresented in the engineering fields and exhibit a passion for making a difference. Invitations will be extended at the time of admission. The program is only available to incoming full-time, first-year students.

- The option to participate in the Accelerated Master's Program, which provides the opportunity to complete a bachelor's and master's degree sequentially
