Maureen Flanagan Scholarship Endowment

The purpose of this scholarship is to provide support for undergraduate students, with a preference for women, who have financial need as demonstrated in the content of their Financial Aid Application. The scholarship will offer students opportunities above and beyond the standard college experience such as, but not limited to, research, summer internships, alternative spring breaks, community service, or other initiatives that complement and enhance the chosen course of study of the students selected.

Prepare a one-page proposal, which describes your initiative, how it supports your field of study, and includes estimated costs. Submit the proposal to Ms. Anne Peramba in the Financial Aid Office by March 31st. Proposals may be submitted in person or via e-mail. Please make sure your name and SPIRE ID are on all materials that you submit. The number of recipients and the amount of each individual award will vary each year depending on the strength of the proposals and the available earned interest of the Maureen Flanagan Scholarship Endowment. We expect to be able to distribute at least $3,000.
