Harry W. and Janet Sine Lusk Awards in the Mathematical Sciences - Travel Scholarship

Give!

This conference travel award aims primarily to support conference travel for undergraduate mathematics or statistics & data science majors. 

When available, excess funds may be used to award non-travel scholarships to students who apply through the standard departmental application in spring. 

Anyone may gift to this endowment. The endowment that funds the award was established by Professor Duncan Buell, a UA Mathematics alumnus, in honor of his grandparents. Harry and Janet Lusk graduated from The University of Arizona in 1912 and 1911, respectively. 

Background

Harry and Janet Lusk graduated from The University of Arizona in 1912 and 1911, respectively. Their three children also graduated from the UA, making theirs the first family all of whose members were UA graduates. Dr. Buell, grandson of Harry and Janet, continued the tradition by receiving a B.S. in Mathematics from the UA in 1971. He subsequently received a M.A. (University of Michigan) and a Ph.D. (University of Illinois), both in mathematics.
