10 MSU engineering students each receive $3,500 Gilhousen scholarship

Ten Montana State University students studying electrical and computer engineering have received Gilhousen scholarships. The students selected for the distinction have outstanding academic records. Each received a $3,500 scholarship for the academic year 2004-2005.

In 2001, Karen and Klein Gilhousen gave $5 million to establish the Gilhousen Telecommunications Endowed Chair and Gilhousen Scholarships for the electrical and computer engineering department.
