J. Scott Fleming Awards
Interested in applying? Get APPLICATIONS in by October 17th!!
 

Background and History:

The mission of the University Student Alumni Board (USAB), student affiliate of the UB Alumni Association, is to encourage lifelong participation in the University at Buffalo by involving students in traditional programs, spirit activities, and events which promote UB pride. Through this scholarship program, established in 1985, USAB seeks to recognize full-time undergraduate and graduate students whose leadership efforts, through extracurricular and volunteer activities, have similarly helped to promote student involvement and enhance the student experience at UB. The awards were renamed in 1991 after Dr. J. Scott Fleming, who served as executive director of the Office of Alumni Relations and who exemplified the spirit of involving students, whom he called, "alumni-in-residence."
