The Loren Frankel Memorial Scholarship
The Scholarship Fund supports students and early career professionals engaged in the critical study of men and masculinities like Dr. Frankel. After achieving its original goal of $10,000 to provide scholarships of up to $500 each year to a qualified student or students attending and presenting at the annual AMSA Interdisciplinary Conference on Men and Masculinities, the AMSA Board extended the goal to $20,000 and expanded the fund to include initiatives in support of early career academics and professionals.

The Board of Directors of the American Men’s Studies Association
established the Loren Frankel Student Scholarship Fund in 2005. The fund
is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Loren Frankel, a young professor of
psychology at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia who
died tragically in an automobile accident in 2004. Dr. Frankel was known
as an inspiring teacher, an accomplished scholar, and a respected
colleague. He presented several papers on adolescent sexuality and male
heterosexual identity at AMSA’s annual conferences.
