Corporate Partners

Form a unique partnership and determine an engagement plan that best meets your company goals

Corporate Partners Program

The Corporate Partners Program provides an opportunity for a strategic partnership between your corporation and the A. James Clark School of Engineering. The program ensures high-level access to the intellectual capital—students, faculty, and research—of the Clark School while also serving as a gateway to research collaborations, campus facilities, and intellectual property licenses.

Our Corporate Partners are typically the most engaged and most visible companies at the Clark School. This high level of visibility creates brand awareness and recognition by students, faculty, and the university community of your commitment to engineering education at the University of Maryland.

Funds generated through the program support recruitment and internship opportunities, scholarships, student activities—such as the annual all-School student picnic—competitions, awards, conferences, and other programs that directly benefit students and faculty. A portion of your financial support may also be directed to the departments or diversity programs of your choice, maximizing your investment.
