Mary Hyman '71

Mary B. Hyman, President of the Sigmund M. Hyman Foundation, has announced a $2.5M planned gift to Goucher College, the largest gift the foundation has ever given to a Maryland school. This generous gift will support merit scholarships, capital projects, and student-faculty research.

One third of the foundation's grant will support the Sigmund M. and Mary B. Hyman '71 Merit Scholarship in Science. Since 1997, 16 Goucher students have received the scholarship, some for multiple years.

The remaining two-thirds of Mary's bequest will also go toward student-faculty collaborative research and capital support for improved facilities for the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields (STEM).
