Crommelin-Armiger Scholarship Fund

The Crommelin-Armiger Scholarship Fund honors Philip Crommelin, Jr., and William J. Armiger Jr., both pioneers in air pollution control who worked to improve air quality through the 1970s and helped companies comply with the Clean Air Act. Philip Crommelin Jr. was a chemical engineer from Worcester Polytechnic Institute who opened a consulting practice in electrostatic precipitation and held four patents on air pollution control devices. William Armiger was an engineer who founded EPSCO, a global consulting air pollution control company. This scholarship supports graduate students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute who are pursuing engineering work focused on clean air, clean power generation, pollution reduction, sustainability, or resilient systems. The scholarship provides $3,000 per year for the remainder of the recipient's current graduate degree, up to three years, and is available to U.S. citizens enrolled in relevant graduate engineering programs at WPI.
