Erasmus Scholarship Endowment

The purpose of this fund is to fund graduate and/or undergraduate scholarships and supplements to assistantships and readerships for UM students who are majoring in philosophy, English, history, political science, foreign languages, religious studies, environmental studies or law. Students may be incoming freshmen as well. Recipients must have financial need and shall demonstrate the ability and intention to use their studies to humanize and ennoble their own and others’ life goals to combat competitive, egoistic materialism either in individuals or in political policies that endanger the existence and quality of life. Recipients are not required to have decided how they plan to serve their moral-social goals, whether by teaching (particularly pre-college teaching), by political action, by writing, or by other ways of exerting influence, but they must show evidence of intent to work toward farsighted humanistic ideals.
