CLARKSVILLE, TN – Graduate students from Austin Peay State University’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics have made a generous gift to permanently establish the Dr. Samuel Jator Computer Science and Quantitative Methods Endowment. The scholarship fund, which began in 2021, has now been converted to a permanent endowment in honor of former APSU professor Dr. Samuel Jator.
To qualify for this renewable scholarship, students must be enrolled full-time in the computer science or quantitative methods graduate programs and maintain a 3.0 GPA. Priority will be given to international students, and the funds can also be used to provide graduate assistant stipends if no qualified recipients are available.
“Dr. Jator not only provided exceptional academic guidance but also understood our unique circumstances as international students and supported us beyond the classroom,” said Israel Olugbade (‘19), an Austin Peay alum who led the funding effort. “This endowment represents our collective gratitude and our commitment to ensuring that future international students have the same opportunities we were given. We’re proud to give back to APSU because this university invested in us, and now we want to be part of creating that same pathway for future scholars.”…
