Henry & Melinda Brown Endowment for Minority Chemical Engineers
To pay lasting tribute to a pioneering advocate and mentor to the underrepresented community for nearly five decades, the AIChE Foundation and Minority Affairs Committee (MAC) have renamed the MAC Endowment Fund in honor of Henry T. Brown.
The Henry T. and Melinda C. Brown Endowment for the Education of Underrepresented Minority Chemical Engineers is a global effort to promote greater inclusiveness in AIChE and the profession by providing an endowment to support, in perpetuity, the education and training of minority and underrepresented chemical engineers. The endowment’s goal is to fund up to 30 MAC Scholars annually. With your help, we will achieve that goal and open the doors of opportunity, year after year, for brilliant young minds.
The endowment supports the Doing a World of Good campaign priority, Attracting and Retaining the Best and the Brightest, to advance the chemical engineering profession for the future.

All donors will be recognized as a Founding Member of the endowment.

Henry Brown is one of the original advocates for under-represented minority chemical engineers in AIChE. AIChE's Gordon Ellis sat down with him to discuss the endowment in his name and the future of chemical engineering education.
