Harry Merrill Gehman Memorial Endowment Fund

The Harry Merrill Gehman Memorial Endowment Fund was established in 1995 by Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Luippold, Class of '40 and '42, to support students pursuing mathematics education. This scholarship provides financial assistance to students who intend to teach mathematics and demonstrates a commitment to developing future educators in this critical field. The scholarship gives preference to students who have completed at least 40 credit hours with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Recipients are selected based on their experience related to teaching, including teaching internships, teaching assistant positions, tutoring, and experience working with children and adolescents. Applicants must demonstrate clear post-graduation plans and objectives related to teaching mathematics. This endowed fund represents a lasting investment in mathematics education at the University at Buffalo, supporting students in the College of Arts & Sciences Mathematics department who are committed to careers in teaching. The award amount varies based on the endowment's annual distribution.
