The Auburn NLGI Ralph Beard Memorial Scholarship Recipients for the 2016-17 Academic Year Every year since 2014, NLGI has sponsored a scholarship for Auburn University’s Tribology Program. Following are the 2 students who have received our scholarship funding for the academic year 2016-2017. Until Ralph’s passing last year, the award was simply the NLGI Scholarship, however, Ralph was so active in the Auburn program and in establishing this scholarship, that the name was changed to honor him. A big thanks to our loyal members who make this scholarship possible! On September 19, 2016, Auburn held it’s 4th Tribology and Lubrication Science Minor Symposium at Auburn University, Auburn, Al. Our thanks to John Sander of Lubrication Engineers, Inc. who attended on behalf of NLGI.
