Computer science senior Farhan Jamil said he started the underwater robotics student organization RoboSub in 2022 soon after he enrolled in UTD. A group of students from the organization formed the Hydromeda team that enrolled in the MATE ROV Competition. “We are super happy and excited to have brought home not one but two awards as a first-time competing team,” Jamil said. “As pilot, I was able to learn a lot from other teams by connecting with their members and seeing their ROVs,” computer science junior Colin Wong said. In addition to financial support, the scholarship provides recipients with ongoing professional development opportunities, including connections with experienced mentors and a statewide network of other Charles Butt Scholars and alumni.
