Gerry Markle Endowed Scholarship

In 1999, Jay Maydonovitch ’73, along with friends and family of Gerald E. Markle, established this scholarship to honor the late Professor Gerald Markle, former distinguished faculty member and the founder and first chair of the School of Engineering’s Department of Applied Mathematics.

As CEO of MCE, a local manufacturing company, Mr. Maydonovitch regularly recruits Santa Clara engineering students for internships, providing important mentoring and job experience, while exemplifying the Jesuit model of giving back.

In 2014, John Maydonovitch received the School of Engineering’s highest honor, the Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award, honoring alumni whose accomplishments in their professions, communities, and University service have set them apart.
