Scholarships

The Scholarship Program is part of the University's mission of linking academic expertise to community innovation in aging services. Since the Center on Age & Community was first established in 2001, one of our primary goals has been to remove the barriers that prevent students from studying Gerontology. Since that time, we have given away over $470,000 in scholarships to students in a wide range of disciplines.

2. Demonstrate a commitment to the field of gerontology

3. Demonstrate leadership skills through participation in community service, research, extracurricular, and/or other activities
