History
Alumnus and Trustee Jonathan B. Zung, Ph.D., has established The Martin Zung Memorial Chemistry Endowment Fund at the Florida Institute of Technology in memory of his late father Martin Zung. Jonathan Zung received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the university and his doctoral degree in analytical chemistry from Emory University.
The scholarship will annually recognize an outstanding junior or senior chemistry major who has demonstrated strong academic performance and outstanding independent research. The recipient will be presented with a plaque and a financial award, which is anticipated to be at least $1,500.
“We are very pleased with this financial commitment by Jonathan Zung, who has always been a staunch supporter and friend of the university,” said Susan St. Onge, Florida Tech senior vice president for advancement and chief development officer.
Martin Zung was an educator, pharmacist, and strong supporter of the sciences and of Florida Tech and its mission. Jonathan Zung, a resident of Upper Holland, Pa., is a vice president at Bristol-Myers Squibb Company in Princeton, N.J.
