Rosalyn Z. Gammerman Scholarship Fund

An accomplished engineering student receives an award through this fund.

The Rosalyn Z. Gammerman Scholarship Fund was established to provide a semester award to a worthy student completing “Technical Communications for Engineers.”

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is powerfully positioned to help solve humanity’s greatest global problems and to strengthen the economy and the manufacturing sector in Buffalo and Western New York. By making world-class engineering and applied sciences education affordable and accessible to all exceptional undergraduate and graduate students, we have the power to transform lives, careers and the world in remarkable ways. Please partner with us as we take the school to a new level—and as we engineer a better, brighter future around the world.
