MFSA Student Scholarships

The Minority Faculty & Staff Association awards three undergraduate student scholarships at the annual commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Jerry L. Linder Academic Achievement Award fund was established to provide an award to a sophomore or junior who meets high academic standards. The Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship was established to honor a junior or senior who demonstrates high academic standards and leadership ability, and who exemplifies a personal character that advances the spirit and philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Teresa A "Teri" Miller Memorial Scholarship was established to provide an award to a junior or senior who values education, community service, and social justice, in honor of Dr. Teri Miller's legacy.

The awards are supported by donations given largely, but not exclusively, by minority faculty and staff at UB.
