The Kott Gerontology Scholars Program is a distinguished program offering career development, peer connections, and professional networking opportunities for Chicago-area graduate students pursuing careers in aging. The Kott Gerontology Scholars Program (KGSP) aims to advance the field of aging in an effort to bolster opportunities, engagement and quality of life among older adults. Since 2004, the Russell and Josephine Kott Charitable Memorial Trust has provided internship scholarships to promising advanced degree graduate students interested in the aging field who are attending Chicagoland-area universities. The Kott Gerontology Scholars Program (KGSP) encourages and supports graduate students in a variety of professional specializations to develop skills that will engage and prepare them to continue working with and on behalf of older adults after graduation. KGSP strives to build a robust pipeline of enthused aging professionals to support increasing longevity among the growing number older adults in our communities.
