Edwin A. Gere, Jr Scholarship

The Edwin A. Gere, Jr. Scholarship for the Study of State and Local Government was established by Steve Etkin '81 in honor of Political Science Professor Emeritus Ed Gere, an outstanding professor of public administration and state and urban politics and a heroic pilot in WWII and the Berlin Airlift. This scholarship supports students who demonstrate an academic and professional interest in state and local government and politics. The award provides $1,000 to recipients. Students who wish to intern abroad in order to learn about state and local governments in other countries are welcome to apply, making this an opportunity for both domestic and international study focused on governmental systems at the state and local level.
