"Professor retirement offer scholarship" refers to several distinct concepts related to university faculty at the end of their careers and student funding
:
1. Professors Donating to Scholarship Funds
Many professors choose to establish or donate to scholarship funds for students as a "retirement present" or a form of "payback" for their career.
Motivation: This is often done to support students from under-represented or low-income backgrounds in their field of study and to widen access to higher education.
Examples: Professor Mary Beard at the University of Cambridge established the Joyce Reynolds Award to fund Classics students from under-represented backgrounds. Similarly, peers at Anna Maria College created the Susan R. Swedis Science Scholarship Fund in her honor upon her retirement.
Mechanism: These funds are typically administered by the university's financial aid office or a related trust, like the Cambridge Trust.
2. University Education Benefits for Retired Faculty
Some universities offer education benefits or tuition remission to retired faculty, their spouses, or dependent children as a post-retirement benefit. These are a type of "scholarship" offered as part of their retirement package.
Example: The University of Pittsburgh offers educational benefits to retired faculty and their families.
3. Faculty Retirement Incentive Programs (FRIPs)
Universities often offer voluntary retirement incentive programs to eligible tenured faculty to encourage them to retire, often providing a lump-sum payment (e.g., 2x their annual salary) or phased retirement options with continued benefits for a limited period. The savings generated from these programs can sometimes be indirectly used by the university to support other academic needs, including potentially funding new positions or programs, which in turn might involve student support, though this is part of the university's internal budget process, not a direct student scholarship for the retiring professor.
Retired faculty may still be eligible to apply for and receive external scholarships, grants, or visiting professorships to continue their research or teaching abroad. The title of Professor Emeritus/Emerita, which is often conferred after distinguished service, allows for continued academic engagement, including the ability to apply for grants.
5. "Retirement Scholarship" as a Financial Strategy
In personal finance, the term "retirement scholarship strategy" is a method for individuals to save for and pay for college without disrupting the compounding interest of their retirement savings, essentially by borrowing against their assets at a lower rate. This is a personal financial strategy, not an official university program.
For specific details on available benefits, you should consult the human resources or academic personnel office of the relevant university or system (e.g., USC Emeriti Center, Vanderbilt University).
