Linda Diane Rock Memorial Scholarship Fund

Students majoring or minoring in French receive support for a trip to France through this fund.

Established by William Rock, the Linda Diane Rock Memorial Scholarship Fund helps defray the costs of travel to and from France for a UB student who is a French major or minor. Specifically, the funds help assist students in their pursuit of academic work, with preference given to students spending an entire year in France.

Since its establishment, the fund has created more than 80 awards with the purpose of supporting UB students as they expand their knowledge, cultural competency and life experiences by studying abroad in France.

At the College of Arts and Sciences, our students see opportunity around every corner. Our faculty have the expertise to overcome virtually any obstacle. Now, all we need is your support to help us turn our extraordinary potential into unparalleled achievement. We ask you to join us in creating a better, brighter future for the college and communities around the world. And we ask you, just as we ask ourselves and our students: What problem will you help solve today?
