Scholarship program aims to keep UB grads in Western New York

The Prentice Family Foundation has created the Western New York Prosperity Scholarship Program to help UB students graduate and establish their careers in the eight-county region. These scholarships will enable qualified juniors, seniors and graduate students in the UB schools of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Management to become better acquainted with career possibilities in the region’s businesses and industries. More than 20 scholarships are expected to be granted, each with a maximum award of $25,000. The scholarships will cover students’ unmet costs to attend UB during the academic year and fund summer internships at leading companies and industries throughout the region.
