Congratulations to Allie Jia Hui Tay ’25 BME, who received a Tau Beta Pi Record Scholarship. This award commemorates Leroy E. Record, KS A ’29, whose generous bequest provides earnings to support awards in perpetuity.

All scholarships are awarded by the The Fellowship Board of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, which is among the oldest engineering honor societies in the country. Allie is the Vice President of the University of Rochester Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society Student Chapter, home to the New York Kappa chapter of Tau Beta Pi. 

Allie is among the 253 engineering students from 1,328 applicants for undergraduate study selected during the 2024-25 academic year. The scholarships are awarded on the competitive criteria of high scholarship, campus leadership and service, and promise of future contributions to the engineering profession. All scholars are members of the Association. 

Passionate about the intersection of biomechanics and medicine, Allie conducts research at the Center for Musculoskeletal Research on host-pathogen interactions during implant-associated osteomyelitis, and will be presenting her work at the Schwartz Discover Grant showcase in October 2024. After graduation she plans on attending medical school with the goal of becoming an engineer-physician in orthopaedics.
