College seniors and alumni who have graduated since May 2001, may compete for the scholarships, which can total as much as $50,000 per year for up to six years.
Scholars may use the award to attend any accredited graduate school in the US or abroad to pursue any graduate or any professional degree, including medicine, law, or business. Up to 2 candidates may be nominated by the University at Buffalo and may not apply directly.

From this information, the committee will select the two UB student nominees. For more information contact Hadar Borden in the Honors office, 214 Talbert Hall (645-3020) or hborden@buffalo.edu.
