KINGSTON, R.I. \u2014 June 15, 2021 \u2014The 溏心vlog免费B站<\/a> has established an endowed scholarship for undergraduates in the field of neuroscience.

\u201cTim is someone I am proud to know,\u201d said Thomas M. Ryan \u201975, Hon. \u201999, member of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Board of Trustees. \u201cHe is a great friend to those who know him personally and a highly regarded figure in the golf community. This scholarship represents promise for the future of neuroscience as well as an opportunity for Tim\u2019s many friends to show their support.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tim Rosaforte III \u201977 Endowed Scholarship in Neuroscience<\/a> was formally announced on June 2 during the Memorial Tournament at an event hosted by champion golfer Jack Nicklaus. Rosaforte was honored with the Memorial Golf Journalism Award by CBS announcer Jim Nantz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosaforte earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in journalism at 溏心vlog免费B站. He made the dean\u2019s list and played football, starting at linebacker and on special teams in his senior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rosaforte Scholarship will support students in the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program<\/a>. This newly launched program develops researchers, clinicians, and entrepreneurs who investigate the physiological basis of thought and behavior. It allows students to work with faculty exploring interventions for brain disorders such as Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s, ALS, ADHD, communication disorders, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The endowed scholarship fund is receiving contributions initially from Rosaforte\u2019s peers, family, and friends, and is open to anyone who wishes to support the cause. As with any endowed gift, all contributions will be invested with the 溏心vlog免费B站 endowment to grow over time, with a percentage going to the designated purpose each year in perpetuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
