About D.J. Angus-Scientech Educational Foundation

The D.J. Angus-Scientech Educational Foundation (also known as the Scientech Club Foundation) is a private, 501c3 foundation that was initiated by Bob Annis in 1967 to create an appropriate and lasting memorial to Donald J. Angus, an outstanding Indianapolis engineer and citizen and a founder and charter member of the Scientech Club. It is the philanthropic arm of the Scientech Club. The purpose of the Foundation is to foster and promote the education of deserving students oriented toward studies in engineering, science, technology, medicine, and related fields. Originally many club members mentored and helped students with science education. After the formation of the Foundation, assisting students was placed on a more formal basis.

Among its other philanthropic activity, The Educational Foundation has long been an active supporter of the IU scientific community. Since 1997, the Foundation has sponsored the DJ Angus-Scientech Education Foundation Physics Scholarship at IUPUI. It has also financially supported collaboration between IUPUI physicists and Indianapolis high school students.
