Emergency Scholarship Fund- “Ron Howard Emergency Scholarship Fund”
- This endowment fund was established in 1997 by friends of Ron Howard. The income earned by the fund supports financial awards to full-time undergraduate students who are active in leadership or extra-curricular activities at the University and who have emergency or other financial needs that are not met through traditional financial aid.
Office of Sustainability (Campus Green Fund)
- Senior Class Gift funds will support the Campus Green Fund established by President Steven Knapp this April. The Campus Green Fund functions as a revolving fund for sustainability that will initially improve buildings on campus, making them more energy efficient. The university then in turn will take the cost savings from those improvements and put it back into the fund.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
- Started in 2002, the Gamow Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program provides either academic year or summer funding to 8-10 undergraduate students in all schools of the University who submit a joint proposal with a faculty member to conduct research.
Center for Entrepreneurship (GW Business Plan Competition)
- Through the Center for Entrepreneurship the 2011 Senior Class Gift fund will provide three $10,000 undergraduate awards over three years to the undergraduate winners of the GW Business Plan competition. These three awards will be presented in the name of the Class of 2011 and give undergraduate students an incentive to compete in a competition that has traditionally been won by graduate students.
