National Alpha Lambda Delta announces
creation of James G. Stemler Study Abroad Scholarships
At their annual meeting in June 2008, the National Council of Alpha
Lambda Delta passed a resolution honoring retiring National
President Dr. James G. Stemler by establishing ten new study abroad
scholarships in his name. The James G. Stemler Study Abroad
Scholarships will take the form of ten $1,000 awards to offset the
expense of studies abroad for eligible members of Alpha Lambda Delta
National Honor Society for First-Year Students. The award recipients
will be selected via a merit-based competitive application process;
details regarding the application and selection process are still
being finalized at this time.
The first male president of the Society, Dr. Stemler has served the
National Council of ALD for more than 14 years; he has held the
office of Vice President for Chapter Relations and Expansion, and is
completing his sixth year as President. In addition to his dedicated
service on the Council, Dr. Stemler has been an active chapter
advisor for the chapter at the University of Portland – and has been
a very vocal proponent and promoter of studies abroad.
The Council recognizes that the world is becoming less a collection
of independent peoples and more a global community of world citizens
– and there is an immediate need for American students to experience
life beyond the United States, and studies abroad are one of the
ways in which our colleges and universities are accomplishing that
goal. With this in mind, Alpha Lambda Delta is committed to helping
its membership develop a more global view of the world.
The James G. Stemler Study Abroad Scholarships add an additional
$10,000 to the almost $150,000 the Society already offers in direct
aid to students every year, including $55,000 in scholarships to
undergraduate students in the Trow Scholarship program, and over
$93,000 to graduate and professional students with the ALD Graduate
Fellowships.
