Leslie and Terry Cutler Kinesiology Scholarship

Spring 2026 Award

The Leslie and Terry Cutler Kinesiology Scholarship is to provide support to an undergraduate student working in the Center of Achievement who aspires to a career in adapted physical activity.

The scholarship was made possible due to a generous contribution from Leslie (Les) and Terry Cutler. It is the intention of the donors to provide financial assistance to Kinesiology students with outstanding potential to become leaders in the fields of health, fitness, and rehabilitation as they proceed into the adapted physical activity graduate program.

Les and Terry Cutler are long-term contributors to California State University, Northridge. This gift expands their giving to the University in alignment with their interest in health care and the health care field. Les Cutler attended CSUN in 1963 and, although he did not graduate from CSUN, went on to become a dentist, earn a Ph.D., and serve as the Chancellor and Provost of Health Affairs at the University of Connecticut.
