Rochester Institute of Technology, School of Photographic Arts and Sciences
Imaging and Photographic Technology Department

Dr. Ronald Francis was a member of the faculty in the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences for 17 years, until his death in 1986. During that time he served thousands of students with great ability, care, and effectiveness. His contributions to his students as an educator, to RIT as an administrator, and to the photographic industry as a consultant, have been widely recognized. The Dr. Ronald Francis Scholarship Fund was created by a generous gift from his mother, Mrs. Mabel Francis, prior to her death in 1992. Her desire was to perpetuate through the students at RIT the principles and values that characterized her son throughout his life.

Purpose
To recognize the academic success and career goals of Imaging and Photographic Technology students through the award of a monetary stipend. The committee will seek to identify those students who through their accomplishments to date have demonstrated a potential for noteworthy contributions to the imaging profession, and have demonstrated a serious commitment to their academic studies.

Eligibility

Students who are enrolled full-time (12 qtr. credits, or on co-op) in the Imaging and Photographic Technology department of the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences and who carry a 3.0 cumulative Grade Point Average are eligible for consideration. In addition, the GPA in the students’ Principal Field of Study will be considered as well. A review of these GPAs and the transcript record of each candidate will allow for an in-depth review of the degree of difficulty of the candidate’s elected course of study. Previous awards of this scholarship do not mean that the scholarship will automatically be renewed.
