DECORAH, Iowa, May 13, 2019 – Austin Bulman of Decorah, Iowa has been awarded the 2018-2019 Adam J. Bohr Memorial Engineering Scholarship. The scholarship is given by the Bohr family and McClure of Clive, Iowa in honor of the late Mr. Adam J. Bohr. The scholarship is awarded to a student pursuing the field of engineering and is based on scholastic standing, community involvement, and extracurricular activities.

Bulman will receive $4,000, paid over two years, for his pursuit of engineering study. He is graduating from Decorah High School and plans to attend Iowa State University to study Biological Systems Engineering.

“Adam was full of energy and not afraid to take on tough challenges. His personality would light up a room – not typical of most engineers,” said Terry Lutz, CEO of McClure. “When selecting a scholarship winner, we try to find someone that best represents Adam and we believe Austin does just that.”

About the Adam J Bohr Memorial Scholarship Bohr graduated from Decorah High School and received his Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Iowa State University.
