Description
Enables highly motivated students to pursue opportunities in a graduate course of study in arts, humanities, and social sciences.
The program seeks to encourage and enable highly motivated students to pursue opportunities available to them and to be courageous in the selection of a graduate course of study in arts, humanities, and social sciences. Since 1975 the program has selected more than 590 college juniors from 100 different undergraduate schools for support during graduate study at any accredited university.
Awards are exclusively for graduate study in the arts, social sciences, or humanities (not for professional school or for study in the natural sciences, neuroscience).
There are no geographic restrictions on the use of the scholarship, and recipients are allowed to supplement the award with other scholarships, assistantships and research grants. Scholars are encouraged to begin graduate study as soon as possible following graduation from college, and must utilize all of the funding within five years of completion of undergraduate studies.
