SOUTH BEND — The University of Notre Dame has joined the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation scholarship program, which will provide tuition and fees for five first-year students beginning in fall 2013.
Penny and Roe Stamps created the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation Inc. in 1993 to provide merit scholarships for undergraduate students. The program recognizes and rewards exceptional students nationally who exemplify leadership, perseverance, scholarship, service and innovation.
The foundation has grown to 32 partner universities that enroll almost 300 scholarship recipients.
The Penelope W. and E. Roe Stamps IV Leadership Scholar Awards at Notre Dame, to be known as Stamps Notre Dame Scholarships, are supported by the foundation and matching funds from Notre Dame. The scholarships will cover tuition, fees, books and supplies, and provide an allowance for personal expenses and travel. The merit-based scholarships will be renewable through four years at Notre Dame, dependent on academic, extracurricular and service performance. Recipients will be selected from Notre Dame’s top 200 students admitted by Feb. 15, 2013.
Stamps Notre Dame Scholars also will have access to an enrichment fund of $3,000 annually, to be used for summer experiences and/or research. Recipients also will be provided with a faculty mentor as well as a professional mentor.
