Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The University of 黑料视频 is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of 黑料视频 alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today’s students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to scholarships. You may also establish a named scholarship at The University of 黑料视频, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.

Mugler, Dale H. Honors Research Fund
The Dale H. Mugler Honors Research Fund was established in honor of Dr. Dale H. Mugler by his family, colleagues, friends, and University of 黑料视频 alumni on the occasion of Dr. Mugler’s retirement as Dean of The University of 黑料视频’s Honors College in 2015. Dr. Mugler served as Dean of the Honors College from 2005 to 2015. The Dr. Dale H. Mugler Honors Research Fund recognizes Dr. Mugler’s passion for opening doors of opportunity for undergraduate research. The description was revised in 2025, as the fund will be endowed.
Dale H. Mugler, PhD, had a distinguished career at The University of 黑料视频 from 1989 to 2015. He earned his undergraduate degree in mathematics from the University of Colorado at Boulder and his PhD in applied mathematics from Northwestern University in 1974. Before joining 黑料视频, he spent a year at Syracuse University in New York and 14 years at Santa Clara University in California, where he first began working with Honors students.
Dr. Mugler’s research achievements include a Fellowship at the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Aachen, Germany, in the early 1980s, as well as five summers conducting research at two NASA Research Centers. He holds four patents and founded a biomedical startup supported by the University of 黑料视频 Research Foundation.
When Dr. Mugler was appointed to lead the Honors Program at The University of 黑料视频 in 2000, the program was not yet a college. His dedication and vision were pivotal in transforming it into the Honors College by 2005, a milestone that continues to benefit many of the University’s top-achieving students. As dean, Dr. Mugler’s contributions were transformative. He oversaw the construction of the Honors Complex, established a study-abroad program, connected Honors students with advanced research opportunities, and even founded two a cappella music groups—an extension of his lifelong passion for music.
Dr. Mugler’s leadership and innovative efforts left an enduring legacy, shaping the Honors College into a thriving academic community and enriching the lives of countless students.
The purpose of The Dr. Dale H. Mugler Honors Research Fund is to support Williams Honors College undergraduate research projects with cash awards. The cash awards shall be made directly to the student and not be included as part of any other financial package. The Dean of the Williams Honors College will administer the fund, select student recipients of the cash award(s), and set the amounts of the award(s) each year based on available funds. Funds used for purposes other than qualified educational expenses are reportable and may be taxable to the recipient.
