The Stamps Scholars Program

Elizabethtown College's Stamps Scholars Program was founded in 2011 and is part of a national network of 35 institutions that offer the Stamps Scholarship, including the University of Michigan, Georgia Institute of Technology, Purdue, and US Military Academy at West Point.

Dr. E. Roe and Penny Stamps

This national scholarship program is thanks to the vision and commitment of benefactors E. Roe Stamps and his late wife Penny. 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 Tech 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.
