The University of Rhode Island has received a transformative $65 million donation aimed at establishing the Helen Izzi Schilling '54 and Francis Schilling Scholars Program, which will support up to $20,000 in annual scholarships for undergraduate STEM majors. This generous contribution underlines the institution's commitment to fostering excellence in education by providing financial aid to capable students who aspire to excel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields.
"My mother's education in the sciences formed the foundation of a career that was dedicated to helping people, and that started at the University of Rhode Island," stated Dr. Paul J. Schilling. He expressed his parents' desire to leave a lasting impact on future generations of students, reiterating that the scholarships are a means for them to contribute to the community that shaped them.
