"On this, its twentieth anniversary, everyone in the University who has been involved in the program should be congratulated. You have given nearly two hundred deserving students their all-important college education. What an achievement! Murray and I were privileged to watch IAP students become IAP alumni and go out into a challenging world. We enjoyed reading about their inestimable successes. And we were proud that so many of their success can be credited to the University of Maryland Incentive Awards Program."
