  <title><![CDATA[Video: Introducing the 2018 Georgia Tech Clark Scholars ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The first group of Georgia Tech Clark Scholars arrived on campus this summer. After two weeks of intensive learning and bonding, they have quickly assimilated and are ready to begin their journey at Tech.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://clarkscholars.coe.gatech.edu/">Georgia Tech Clark Scholars Program</a> is a signature academic program that combines engineering, business, leadership and community service. Students selected for the Clark Scholars Program receive a four-year scholarship, fully based on financial need. In March 2018, the College of Engineering was given a $15 million endowment from the Clark Foundation to create a Clark Scholars Program. Ten students per year will be selected as Clark Scholars based on their financial need, academic accomplishments, engagement in engineering and leadership skills.</p>

<p>By fall 2021, the Clark Scholars Program is expected to have 40 students enrolled. Throughout their four years in the program, the Clark Scholars will pursue a rigorous engineering education, enroll in business classes, participate in intensive summer programs, and work on semester-long community service projects.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
