Shepard Environmental Sciences Fund

The Shepard Environmental Sciences Fund was established by the late Mrs. Alice K. Shepard '43 and her husband, Lawrence J. Shepard. The fund provides scholarships for students and support for student research in the Environmental Science Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. This funding opportunity supports both student scholarships and research activities in environmental sciences, allowing students to pursue research projects that may become the basis for Senior Capstone projects or Commonwealth Honors College Theses. The award amount varies depending on the specific needs and scope of the research project.
