Dr. Morgan L. Williams, for whom the scholarship is named, contributed to the field of metallurgy for over four decades. He was particularly well known for his work in identifying the welding failures that caused the catastrophic ship fractures during and after World War II. Dr. Williams was an active member of the Washington chapter of ASM International for more than forty years, and served the organization in many capacities. Throughout his career he enjoyed working with and helping students.
The Morgan L. Williams Scholarship Fund was established in 1981, and consists of a certificate and a cash award of $2000.
