The Rev. Howard J. Kerner, S.J., Scholarship Fund was established through the generosity of alumni, friends, and colleagues of Rev. Kramer. It honors the memory of a longtime member of the history department faculty, who served the department from 1948 until 1985. Up to two $4200.00 Kerner Scholarships are available each year and will be awarded in the recipients’ senior year.
