A MeageFrom e ChanceorEndowed scholarships make higher education possible for many of our students.
The financial assistance these scholarships provide often proves to be life-
altering for scholarship recipients.
A college education can be not only expensive, but a daunting experience to
a student, often living away from home for the first time, sometimes the first
member of his or her family with a chance to pursue a degree.
Learn more about some of these students in this booklet; their powerful words
tell the story of how much difference a helping hand can make.
On behalf of these students and all of our scholarship recipients, I deeply thank
our donors, especially those who have established a new scholarship endowment
or contributed to an existing one.
I invite all friends and alumni of UMass Lowell—and our predecessor schools,
the University of Lowell, Lowell Tech, Lowell State College, Lowell Textile and
Lowell Teachers College—to support the endowed scholarship program and
help transform the lives of future generation of students.
Warmly,
Chancellor Martin T. Meehan ’78

“I am so touched that Mike’s legacy will continue to
motivate students in the field of criminal justice.
The student recipients truly exemplify who Mike was:
accomplished, dedicated and hardworking.”
—Diane Shanahan, who established the Michael B. Shanahan Memorial Endowed Scholarship
in her husband’s name

Without the financial assistance provided by UMass Lowell’s endowed
scholarship funds, many students would be faced with difficult choices.
Working two—or more—jobs to pay for tuition and books, graduating
with burdensome loans or dropping out for a while, or forever, can loom
as possibilities.
The scholarship endowments recognized in this booklet provide the financial
assistance that, most important, enables students to stay in school. It also,
however, allows them to devote more time to study and to participate in student
clubs, athletics and other activities that encourage personal and social
development.
Over the past few decades, more than 200 generous alumni, faculty and staff
members and friends have established scholarship endowment funds to ensure
that future generations can access the outstanding education provided by
UMass Lowell. The funds also allow donors to create personal legacies that
have meaningful and long-lasting impact.
1,182Mo than 1,182 students are being assisted
by scholarship funds this academic year.

Endowing a Scholarship FundTo establish an endowed scholarship fund, a donor must commit a minimum of
$25,000 through an outright gift or a multi-year pledge.
Donors may choose to establish a named memorial or family scholarship and
indicate preferences in the way awards are made to students. Donors are kept
informed about the progress of their funds through written annual reports and
communications from their scholarship recipients.
An annual luncheon provides an opportunity for donors to meet their
scholarship recipients in person and hear firsthand how their generosity has
made an important impact.
To learn more about how you can establish an endowed scholarship or support
an existing fund, contact the Advancement Office at 978-934-3689.

“I am in the Air Force ROTC program at UMass
Lowell. The Ogonowski scholarship provides financial
assistance so I can focus on my studies. As a senior
cadet, I help train the next generation of cadets and
ensure that they have everything they need to succeed.”

“I have put myself through college. The Pernick
scholarship helps me focus more on school so I don’t
have to work so many hours. I’m an accounting major
and eventually I want to go into business and someday
be able to give back by setting up my own endowed
scholarship.”

“I had been feeling stressed and was thinking about
dropping out of school. Getting the scholarship
motivated me to keep going. I want to go to medical
school to study optometry and open my own clinic.
Then I want to give back to UMass Lowell by giving a
scholarship like I received.”

“As the first in my family to go to college, I am working
two jobs to help pay expenses. I moved with my family
seven years ago from Peru; this scholarship means I
won’t have to take out so many loans. The scholarship
made me feel like it has been worth all the work to go
to all the classes, study and keep my grades up.”

“My college career has been a winding path. I was in
two different colleges before I came to UMass Lowell
to study physics and radiological science. This scholar-
ship made a huge difference. Funds had been extremely
tight, but receiving it also made me feel welcome. I’m
finally in the place I should have been all along.”

“I have a job on campus and also work weekends, but
I was still worried about how I was going to pay tuition.
I’m from Nigeria and am an international business
major. Now I will have fewer loans and it will be easier
for me to go to law school when I graduate.”

“As an out-of-state doctoral student in plastic engineering,
I’m paying for school by myself and every dollar helps.
Getting a scholarship from a faculty member in my
department shows how strong their support is. It feels
really personal here. I will be happy when I get to a point
where I can give back.”

“We’d like others be able to go further in their careers
than Robert could because of his heart condition.
Endowing the scholarship has helped our family work
through the pain and allows his love of percussion and
life to continue through the aspirations of others. It
warms our hearts every time the scholarship is given
to another student.”
—Judy Loya, who established theRobert S. Loya Memorial Endowment Fund
in her son’s name
