Leff Endowment

The Michael Leff Fund 

1.      NAME:  The name of this endowment shall be the "Michael Leff Fund for Graduate Student Support at the RSA Institute.”

2.      PURPOSE:  The purpose of this endowment shall be to provide monies to support graduate student participation in the RSA Institute—either through scholarship support, or an award, or a prize, or a grant.  The endowment thus honors Michael Leff’s commitments to promoting the study of rhetoric among graduate students, particularly underrepresented minority students and international students.


4.      EXPENDITURES:  Expenditures shall conform to RSA rules and regulations and shall be determined by the Executive Director of the RSA, or his/her designee.  Available funds shall be used to support graduate student participation in the RSA Institute; such uses may include, but are not necessarily limited to, travel expenses, scholarship support to students, awards to students, or other support for the RSA Institute that will enhance participation by students in the RSA Institute.  The RSA Board, which is responsible for ensuring compliance, shall be informed of all uses of the funds.
