Richard V. Lee Peace Through Education Scholarship Fund

This fund supports students undertaking studies relating to Tibetan culture and/or Buddhism, peace studies, international relations or a related field abroad.

Created by long-time professor of medicine Richard V. Lee in connection with the visit to UB in 2006 by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this fund supports students undertaking studies relating to Tibetan culture and/or Buddhism, peace studies, international relations or a related field abroad.

UB’s inclusive community is nourished by its global diversity, with students, faculty and staff from many countries. In an increasingly global society, we are proud to have the world reflected on our campuses, and to provide all of our students with the unparalleled global learning opportunities that can only be found at a truly internationalized university. Your philanthropy will enable a richer experience for all students—including those from Buffalo, across the U.S. and around the globe.
