Brett Santoro Memorial Scholarship

The Fund shall be equally awarded to four (4) undergraduates who have declared Biology as an academic major, based on both financial need and academic merit, beginning in their freshman year. These four students will be known as the Santoro Scholars.

The Scholarship will continue to be award to the same four (4) students while they are enrolled at URI as biology majors. If a student is no longer eligible for the scholarship or the student changes academic majors, the scholarship will then be awarded to an incoming freshman student who has declared Biology as a major. The Santoro scholarship recipients will be selected by Enrollment Services and the Dean of the College of the Environment and Life Sciences (CELS).
