Henry "Hank" Heitowit Scholarship

A scholarship fund has been established in honor of Henry “Hank” Heitowit, who served as Director of the Summer Program from 1981 to 2007. Under Hank’s leadership, the Program developed into a one-of-a-kind learning experience that offers not only wide-ranging and superbly taught courses in analytical methods, but also a uniquely supportive, informal, and inclusive environment.

Every year, a sizable number of former Summer Program participants want to come back to the Program to strengthen their research capabilities. But, for a variety of reasons, many are unable to do so. Current ICPSR Summer Program Director Saundra Schneider and former Director William Jacoby established the Henry “Hank” Heitowit Scholars Fund to help people in this situation and to honor Hank’s several decades of devoted service to the Summer Program and its participants.
