When the family of the late Professor Hugh D. Ussery endowed a scholarship in his name in 1984,
they established the first such award for the Virginia Tech Physics Department.
Professor Ussery joined the faculty of the Physics Department in 1934 and remained at VPI for nearly 40 years.
During his time here, he developed a laboratory in optical spectroscopic analysis of which he was very proud.
The Hugh D. Ussery Scholarship is awarded annually to one or more rising junior physics majors
who exemplify excellence in scholarship and promise for rewarding careers in physics.
