David Bangsberg, founding dean of the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, would meet with students almost everyday. These students typically did not have college-educated parents. They put themselves through college while also holding a full-time job. Some know what it’s like to be homeless – and some still are, even while pursuing a degree. He has met students facing these and other challenges with undiminished resolve to improve not only their and their families’ lives but also the lives of people facing similar barriers.
Because of this, Dean Bangsberg and his wife Lynn established the Deans Scholarship Fund with a pledge of $100,000 to support a promising and diverse student body pursuing a career in health.
Students are encouraged to look at the Dean’s Scholarship Fund.
Designed for first generation students, the scholarship is available through the PSU Scholarship system.
