Raymond C. Loehr Funds

I can’t state strongly enough how important IPEI is to the students of the Ithaca schools. IPEI is behind so much that enriches and excites the daily experiences of so many students throughout the district.

  • IMG_0506 (2)The family of Raymond C. Loehr created the Raymond C. Loehr Scholarship for Environmental Science to honor his 70th birthday and to recognize his lifetime of commitment to education. Scholarships are given to underclass students in ICSD to encourage and recognize interest in science, especially environmental science.

    The Loehr family also initiated the Raymond C. Loehr Award for Excellence in Science Teaching, which is given to an ICSD faculty member to recognize innovative methods for fostering interest in the sciences.
