    ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP
    Established in 1990 by Stephen I. Cohen '65 in honor of his parents, the Cohen Scholarship recognizes undergraduate members of registered student organizations (RSOs) who have shown a significant, active commitment to eliminating bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination and to fostering understanding across our campus community. Recipients receive substantial financial support, university-wide recognition, and join a network of Cohen Scholars and alumni. Students from every UConn campus are eligible, and at least one regional campus student is selected each year.
