About Joe Russo
Joe's passion for learning and teaching had no boundaries. He was comfortable sharing his knowledge of the mathematics applied to the construction of ancient Greek temples or discussing the economic and architectural development of the Bund in central Shanghai's historical district with CSULB undergrad students sitting at The Hut.
The Joe Russo Art of Science Scholarship is awarded every Fall to students who exhibit the most creativity. The Joe Russo Art of Science Scholarship was established both to honor Mr. Russo and to reward SCED 100 students challenging them to creatively examine spatial reasoning using real-world art.
TEACH Grant
Funded by the Federal Government, this program provides up to $4,000 per year for future science teachers. In return for funding you must teach in a high need school (if you don't the grant becomes a loan with interest). See Financial Aid Office's Credential Aid Programs for details.
Knowles Science Teaching Fellowship
Physical science teachers-to-be can be supported through this generous fellowship. See Knowles Teacher Initiative for details.
College Scholarships
Additional opportunities are available through the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics scholarships and the College of Education scholarships.
Financial Aid and Scholarships Office
The Financial Aid and Scholarships Office is the official hub for scholarship information at CSULB. The office collects, organizes, and distributes information on hundreds of external scholarships as well as administers university scholarships for the campus.
