scholarship is named in honor of Mrs. Anne Gorsline and in memory of
her husband, Dr. George Gorsline. This scholarship was established to
encourage female students to continue their pursuit of the Computer
Science Degree. This scholarship is available to any female
undergraduate above the freshman level, in good academic standing; with
a declared major of Computer Science and sufficient course completion
to support that declaration. College of Engineering Application George Gorsline Memorial Scholarship George Gorsline served as this department’s first head. Affectionately known as Dr. G to his students, George was a champion of the "underdogs," those students who faced unique challenges, but who persevered and overcame obstacles to complete a degree in Computer Science. When Dr. Gorsline passed away in 1987, a number of grateful alumni established the George Gorsline Memorial Scholarship. True to George's spirit, this scholarship is given each year to rising seniors who have shown significant improvement in his or her grade point average from freshman year through junior year, and who have overcome obstacles to become successful CS majors.
If you meet the intent of the George Gorsline Scholarship, you should submit the College of Engineering scholarship application and send e-mail to Ms. Libby Bradford (
