Lennin H. Glass Scholarship Endowment (CHHD)

Fall 2025: 2025-2026 Academic Year Award

Not everyone has the opportunity to pursue their education in a linear fashion. Yet, many students overcome barriers, explore different paths, sometimes take longer time to complete their degree, or even leave for a period and than return. Returning undergraduate or graduate adult students in any of the Health Sciences program at CSUN are eligible for the Lennin H. Glass Scholarship. Recipients are selected based upon demonstration of commitment to professional growth and service, leadership, positive and professional attitude within the Health Sciences field, and returning adult students status. The scholarship is made possible by a generous contribution form the Lennin H. Glass Scholarship Endowment. It is the intention of the donor to provide financial assistance to an outstanding returning adult student. Lennin Glass was a professor of Health Sciences and served as Dean of the School of Communication and Professional Studies (an early root of the College of Health and Human Development) from 1979-1987.
