LIFE AFTER CLOUGH
Couy lives in Virginia and is a nuclear test engineer for a subcontractor to the US Navy. He is studying for his master’s degree.
“VMI is a state-supported military college, so we do have to pay tuition and I very much used the Clough scholarship! It set me up to have almost no student loans coming out of college.
I graduated in May 2023 with a Mechanical Engineering degree and a minor in Mathematics and got a job with HII, which owns Newport News and Ingalls Shipbuilding. I am currently a nuclear test engineer, testing nuclear systems on submarines for the Navy. I am going to Virginia Commonwealth University getting a master’s in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering through their online program. I will then be transferred to a Department of Energy site within the next year or so.”
