  • Katherine M. Matera Award

    Walter Matera met his late wife, Katherine, at UCR when they were undergraduates in the late 1960s. Katherine was a biology major and Walter was a history major. They were both involved with the UCR chamber choir and they considered UCR as "sacred ground." Walter wishes to honor Katherine's legacy by establishing a scholarship in her name to help students interested in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) afford a UCR education. 

    To be eligible, a student must be majoring in a STEM field and exhibit financial need and with goals to perpetuate gender equity in these fields.
