STATESBORO, GA — The Alan Stalcup Scholarship continues its mission of investing in students who are driven to pursue higher education, develop their talents, and use their knowledge to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Scholarship recipient Caleb Wickham is a first-year student in the Honors College at Georgia Southern University, where he is pursuing a dual degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering.

For Caleb, engineering represents more than an opportunity to build a successful career. It is a chance to develop technology that can improve lives, expand accessibility, and create meaningful solutions for individuals and families.

His interest in engineering is closely connected to his desire to make assistive and medical technology more accessible to those who need it.

Caleb recognizes the important role technology can play in helping individuals navigate everyday challenges, improve their independence, and access tools that support their health and well-being. That understanding has inspired him to pursue a career focused on designing the electronic systems that make these devices possible.

His goal is to develop circuit boards and embedded controllers used in assistive and medical devices, combining technical innovation with a commitment to improving people’s quality of life.

Through his studies at Georgia Southern University, Caleb is building the academic and technical foundation necessary to pursue that ambition.

By studying both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering, he hopes to gain a comprehensive understanding of how hardware and computing systems work together. These skills will prepare him to contribute to the design and development of technologies that support healthcare professionals, patients, and individuals who rely on assistive devices.

As a member of Georgia Southern’s Honors College, Caleb is pursuing a challenging academic path that reflects his dedication to learning, problem-solving, and personal growth.

He plans to graduate in May 2030 and is focused on making the most of the educational opportunities available to him along the way.

For Caleb, earning his degrees is an important step toward building a career where he can apply his knowledge to practical solutions that benefit others.

Support from the Alan Stalcup Scholarship will help Caleb continue his education while developing the skills and experience necessary to pursue his professional goals.

His ambitions reflect the important role engineers play in advancing healthcare and accessibility. From the electronic components inside medical equipment to the systems that power assistive technology, engineering innovation has the potential to make everyday life easier and improve access to valuable resources.

Caleb hopes to become part of that progress.

The Alan Stalcup Scholarship was created to remove barriers for hardworking students and open doors to opportunity through education. Its recipients represent a wide range of academic disciplines and career ambitions, united by a commitment to using their education to positively impact others.
