Scholarship Opportunities

The Cooper Institute initiated the Susan Johnson Sterling Scholarship in 2006. This award is in honor of Susan Johnson Sterling who served as the Vice President of Education at The Cooper Institute from 1988-2005. Dr. Sterling's passion for education and her commitment to excellence in customer service still are priniciples held dear within the Department of Education. At her retirement, we are honored to offer scholarship aid to deserving individuals pursuing careers in health and fitness.
