Distinguished Scholarships are nationally
and internationally competitive awards that support students of demonstrated
achievement and unusual promise. The tangible support may be financial and/or
programmatic.听 Some awards are for your
remaining undergraduate years of study, while others are for post-graduate
experiences such as graduate study, international experiences of various kinds,
or other forms of special pursuits. Receiving such an award, or in many cases
simply being your college鈥檚 nominee for one, carries distinction and value that
transcends the tangible award and may follow you throughout life.听
To discuss whether seeking a
distinguished scholarship is right for you, or for more information on any
awards listed on this page, contact Honors Committee Chair Britt Anne Murphy. Students interested in particular
opportunities should contact the faculty
or staff representative who can outline the application timeline and requirements in
detail. In many cases, applicants for distinguished scholarships require an
institutional endorsement for an application to proceed.听 Students should
contact Career Services for information about numerous other
grants and scholarships for post-graduate study not listed here.听 Writing assistance for personal statements is available from Career Services and the Writing Center.听
