Jack D. Gaskill Endowed Scholarship in Optical Sciences

Jack Gaskill

For 20 years, professor Jack D. Gaskill served as OSC's associate director for academic affairs, where he played a key role in shaping the graduate curriculum and starting the undergraduate program; he also recruited students and mentored them as they pursued their degrees. In 1999, he commemorated his retirement from teaching by contributing a very generous leadership gift for an undergraduate student scholarship in optical sciences. Many alumni followed his excellent example in order to endow the Gaskill Scholarship.

These donations help ensure that promising students of optical sciences will have the resources to complete their baccalaureate degrees and continue the great tradition of OSC for years to come.

Eligibility: 

The Gaskill Scholarship is awarded to junior or senior undergraduate students at the College of Optical Sciences.
