A Founder's Scholar is an undergraduate student who will receive a scholarship to study aging and to develop a commitment to working with or on behalf of older adults.
Scholarship funds are to be allocated for tuition, fees, books, and living expenses.
The academic institution in which the student is studying gerontology must be accredited and located in the United States. Individual applications received directly from students without institutional sponsorship will not be considered. It is suggested that a faculty member review the final application packet for completeness and accuracy before it is submitted. This letter will be sent to current and potential members of the Founder's Society and may be used in other Foundation print or electronic publications. This will be sent to the members of the Founder's Society to maintain their interest in the student and encourage them to support other students in future years.
