Retirees Association Scholarship

Background

The Retirees Association will begin awarding two $1500 scholarships each year in 2013. The purpose of this scholarship is to help children of current faculty and staff attain their degree. Establishing this scholarship relates to one the purposes of the Retirees Association, "To provide support for the University and its students, faculty and staff." Other considerations were our interest in increasing awareness of the Association on campus and our lengthy experience in supporting the Faculty Endowment Scholarship, sponsored by the Faculty Senate.
