The Rodler-Wood Scholarship Fund

The Rodler-Wood Scholarship was established in 2004 by Maryland alum James Wood (class of 1972) and his partner Peter Rodler (1936–2010). The scholarship is awarded annually in the spring to an undergraduate or graduate student at the University of Maryland, College Park, and selection is based on one or more of the following criteria: demonstrated financial need, hardship based on sexual orientation, academic interest in LGBT studies and extracurricular activities on behalf of LGBT issues.

The Laura Nichols Women's Studies Undergraduate Award

From her arrival at the University of Maryland in 1987 to her retirement from the department in 2014, Laura Nichols’ service to the department and the university was marked by a steadfast commitment to the importance of women’s studies in realizing social justice, which we hope to continue to foster through this award.
