Eda T. Bloom Memorial Endowed Scholarship

Dr. Edward L. Korn ‘73 and family established the Eda T. Bloom Memorial Endowed Scholarship in 2010 in memory of his late wife, Eda Terri Bloom (1945-2008). This scholarship annually supports undergraduate students in the College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences (CMNS). 

Eda Terri Bloom (1945-2008) was a talented medical research scientist and a giving mentor who pursued cancer research as a teenager after losing a dear friend to leukemia. Research was not an open field for women then; however, refusing to let this deter her, Bloom became a policy maker and principal investigator of her own lab at the Food and Drug Administration. Bloom highly valued public-supported universities and education for all. Korn established this scholarship in Bloom’s memory so that others like her may have the means to pursue their own paths.
