The Sherman STEM Teacher Scholars Program supports scholars to become culturally responsive and compassionate STEM educators by collaborating with UMBC faculty and local schools. Through school-based partnerships, the program facilitates authentic learning experiences for scholars while promoting student achievement and engagement in STEM.

The program provides academic and professional coaching to help scholars become high-quality teachers in STEM fields and for urban schools. Scholars in early childhood and elementary education prepare to be experts in teaching and integrating STEM subject areas, while secondary candidates become experts in teaching their STEM discipline.

Sherman Teacher Scholars demonstrate the following qualities:

• strong academic aptitude and enthusiasm in STEM disciplines
• commitment to social justice and community engagement
• open-minded and reflective in mindset and practice
• principled in belief that all children deserve a high-quality education

A generous gift from George and Betsy Sherman, founders of the Sherman Family Foundation, supports the Sherman Teacher Scholars Program.

The NAPABA Law Foundation has partnered with the Choi Family to create the Han C. Choi Scholarship, to honor a NAPABA Trailblazer, mentor and leader, who embodies grit and courage in the face of great adversity.  The Scholarship Fund will benefit a 1L or 2L law student who exhibits academic excellence, leadership, volunteerism, mentorship experience, and demonstrates an interest in AAPI civic issues. Special consideration will also be given to applicants who have been adversely affected by cancer (as a survivor, or family member of a victim or survivor).

Lillian Brand’s nephew, William Brand Boeshaar, passed away at a young age.  Lillian  never had a family of her own, so she chose to leave her estate in honor of William. Her nephew’s love of art led to a perpetual gift for young artists.

Today, the William Brand Foundation supports art projects and annually grants four scholarships to support art education. Each scholarship is named after one of the members of Lillian’s family, with whom she resided and who preceded her in death. These scholarships are: the Lillian L. Brand Scholarship, the Isabelle M. Brand Scholarship, the Lucille Brand Boeshaar Scholarship, and the William Brand Boeshaar Scholarship.

A grant from the Brand-Boeshaar Foundation made possible the 2005 Street Heat Program through the Family Museum in Bettendorf. This project involved the creation of an ‘Urban Tree,’ planted in green space on Harrison Street in Hilltop Park in Davenport. Area students worked with local artists, welders, and engineers from the City of Davenport to erect a permanent piece of art. Students gained hands-on experience working with skilled tradesmen, while being able to express their artistic creativity.

Lillian Brand’s love for her nephew and for her community will continue to make the Quad Cities area a more beautiful place to live.
