Rona Kushner Balser Memorial Terrapin Teachers Endowed Scholarship

William J. Balser '61 established the Rona Kushner Balser Memorial Terrapin Teachers Endowed Scholarship in 2016 to support students actively participating in the Terrapin Teachers program in the College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences. With your support, this scholarship will aid students in their internship year who are majoring in biology and intend to teach biology.

This fund honors the memory of William J. Balser's beloved late wife, Rona. The couple met at UMD and eventually married. Rona lived life with a joy and spirit of curiosity that never diminished. Balser hopes for the scholarship to honor Rona’s legacy and inspire future generations of students to teach with a passion for the subject and a keen interest in her students as Rona always did.
