A Message From the Chancellor

Endowed Scholarship Funds

Endowing a Scholarship Fund

Student Profiles

Current Scholarship List

A college education can be not only expensive, but a daunting experience for a student, often living away from home for the first time, sometimes the first member of his or her family with a chance to pursue a degree. Now, more than ever, philanthropic support is critical to the University’s success. It is through endowment funds like those listed in this book that we are able to continue the good work of educating our students and providing faculty with crucial research and program support.

Because of our generous alumni and friends, today’s students and those joining us for decades to come will receive a better education, have more opportunities for hands-on and global experiences, enjoy a more robust and varied campus life and have a greater chance of receiving a scholarship to help them stay in school.

On behalf of all of our scholarship recipients, I deeply thank our donors, especially those who have established a new scholarship endowment, or contributed to an existing one.

Sincerely,

Chancellor Martin T. Meehan ’78 1 A LEGACY OF GIVING

1,328 Mo than

1,328 students are being assisted

by scholarship funds this academic year.

“My parents didn’t have much — but they gave me everything they could. One of the gifts they gave me was a strong work ethic. That, along with the financial aid I received, is what made the difference for me. So that’s all I’m aiming to do – to give some kids who are willing to work hard, but don’t have the financial resources, the same advantage I had.”

—Barry Perry ’68

Endowed ScholarshipFunds Without the financial assistance provided by UMass Lowell’s endowed scholarship funds, many students would be faced with difficult choices.

Working two—or more—jobs to pay for tuition and books, graduating with burdensome loans or dropping out for a while, or forever, can loom as possibilities.

The scholarship endowments recognized in this booklet provide financial assistance that, most importantly, enables students to stay in school. They also, however, allow them to devote more time to study and to participate in student clubs, athletics and other activities that encourage personal and social development.

Over the past few decades, more than 200 generous donors have established scholarship endowment funds to ensure that future generations can access the outstanding education provided by UMass Lowell. The funds also allow donors to create personal legacies that have meaningful and long-lasting impact.

î že total numr

of endowed

scholarships at umass lowell is 237.

Endowing a ScholarshipFund To establish an endowed scholarship fund, a donor must commit a minimum of $25,000 through an outright gift or a multi-year pledge.

Donors may choose to establish a named memorial or family scholarship and indicate preferences in the way awards are made to students. Donors are kept informed about the progress of their funds through written annual reports and communications from their scholarship recipients.

An annual luncheon provides an opportunity for donors to meet their scholarship recipients in person and hear firsthand how their generosity has made an important impact.

To learn more about how you can establish an endowed scholarship or support an existing fund, contact the Advancement Office at 978-934-3689.

MARY-KATHRYN HAZEL ’12

Daniel O’Leary Endowed ScholarshipFund “I knew that UMass Lowell would provide a worldclass education close to my hometown of Chelmsford.

What I did not realize was how it could evolve into an international educational journey that continues to take me beyond what I thought was possible. I recently had the opportunity to participate in the International Summer School in Irish Studies at Queen's University Belfast. As one of three college-age siblings, I truly appreciate the peace of mind the O'Leary Scholarship has provided both myself and my parents. It has proven incredibly helpful to me as I pursue my personal and professional goals, and begin the search for a graduate program.”

7 A LEGACY OF GIVING

GEORGIOS LIAKAKIS ’14

CharlesHoff Management Scholarship “I have put myself through college. This scholarship helps me focus more on school so I don’t have to work so many hours. I’m an accounting major and eventually I want to go into business and someday be able to give back by setting up my own endowed scholarship.”

9 A LEGACY OF GIVING

ANTHONY PHAMDUY ’14

LaTorreFamily Scholarship EndowmentFund “I had been feeling stressed and was thinking about dropping out of school. Getting the scholarship motivated me to keep going. I want to go to medical school to study optometry and open my own clinic.

Then I want to give back to UMass Lowell by giving a scholarship like I received.”

11 A LEGACY OF GIVING

FRANK VILA ’13

Powe and Sullivan EndowedFund “As the first in my family to go to college, I am working two jobs to help pay expenses. I moved with my family seven years ago from Peru; this scholarship means I won’t have to take out so many loans. The scholarship made me feel like it has been worth all the work to go to all the classes, study and keep my grades up.”

13 A LEGACY OF GIVING

ISIO UKEY ’13

RoyJ.Zuckerrg Scholarship “I have a job on campus and also work weekends, but I was still worried about how I was going to pay tuition.

I’m from Nigeria and am an international business major. Now I will have fewer loans and it will be easier for me to go to law school when I graduate.”

15 A LEGACY OF GIVING

MARY BETH MORIARTY ’09, ’13

BarryFamily Endowed Scholarship “As an out-of-state doctoral student in plastic engineering, I’m paying for school by myself and every dollar helps.

Getting a scholarship from a faculty member in my department shows how strong their support is. It feels really personal here. I will be happy when I get to a point where I can give back.”

17 A LEGACY OF GIVING

DEBORAH FINCH, ED.D. ’03, ’06, ’12 LECTURER, MANNING SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Christopher andDeborah Finch Endowed ScholarshipFund “I support UMass Lowell because I believe in giving back to my community and its future leaders. By establishing endowed scholarship funds, I can reduce some of the financial pressure our students face. Many of our students juggle work and school, a number of them working more than 30 hours a week, which can negatively impact their ability to succeed in the classroom.

It brings me great joy to know that I am able to help our students further their education, and ultimately achieve their dreams.”

“Because I am an alumnus who has hired a number of UMass Lowell graduates, I see how my gifts directly impact students, the community and even my own business. Scholarship assistance allows students to concentrate more fully on their studies instead of how they will pay for college. This results in increased access to higher education and students who are better-prepared for the workplace when they graduate.”

—Richard A. Pierro Jr. ’83 President of Superior Controls Inc.
