Faculty Undergraduate Scholarship
Senate Assembly approved the creation of the Faculty Undergraduate Scholarship on December 18, 2006.
Whereas the faculty governance recognizes need-based fellowships as an important tool for attracting students from low-income families to the University of Michigan;
Whereas the University announced a 50% matching fund program for all donations towards undergraduate need-based fellowships;
Therefore, the Senate Assembly resolves to actively support this program by encouraging faculty to contribute to a special account in support of these fellowships. The resulting fellowships will be allocated with the participation of the elected faculty governance and will be referred to as the UM Faculty Undergraduate Fellowships.
The Faculty Undergraduate Scholarship is facilitated by the University of Michigan Financial Aid Office. Students on all three UM campuses are eligible to apply and will be selected based on their need.
Purpose: The fund will be used to provide need-based scholarships for undergraduate students.
Funded: May 28, 2007
Donors: U-M Faculty from all three campuses
Our endowment generates about $5000 per year, which is sufficient to support only one or two students per year. The goal is to be able to support up to (4) undergraduate students a year. Therefore we appeal to you for additional donations! Together we can make a difference in these students’ lives.
