THE HUNTSMAN PROGRAM ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Established in 2016, the Huntsman Program International Scholarship Fund supports international students in the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business who have demonstrated financial need. The Fund was pioneered by the proud members of the Huntsman Classes of 2006 and 2011, along with the committed support of other alumni and friends of the Huntsman Program. This Fund is a way to demonstrate the gratitude felt for the incredible experiences shared as members of the Huntsman Program community and to support Penn’s top priority of increasing affordability for international students.
THE INGE HERMAN MEMORIAL FUND
When the Huntsman community of alumni, students, and friends of Inge Herman learned of her passing, one alumnae stepped forward to establish a matching gift as a way to honor the memory of the former Director of the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business.
A commitment of $50,000 has been pledged to the Huntsman Program to establish the Inge Herman Memorial Fund to provide funding for summer language study, unpaid internships, research, and other non-tuition financial assistance related to study abroad or professional development.
Why do you give to the Huntsman Program?
“Huntsman has been and will always be my home away from home. My time there was an inflection point that provided me with friendships, opportunities, and many of the achievements I’m most proud of. I am therefore proud to support the Program and, in so doing, transform people’s lives.”
“We have all benefited, in one way or another, from the generosity of previous Penn generations. It is therefore our moral obligation to reach back and pull someone else up. There is no better way to do that than to pay it forward by supporting an institution like the Huntsman Program that transforms people’s lives.”
