This evening, Dr. Paula Warrick, the director of American University’s Office of Merit Awards, shared information about a variety of national scholarship and fellowship opportunities. Dr. Warrick not only provided a list of scholarships and fellowships to the scholars, she also gave advice on the most effective ways to submit competitive applications.
Current scholars who have won competitive scholarships and fellowships such as the Truman Scholarship and the Mellon-Mays Fellowship also gave advice on how to produce an exceptional application for highly coveted academic awards. This year, several Institute scholars will apply for several prestigious undergraduate and graduate scholarships. The most notable are the Truman, Fulbright, and Rhodes Scholarships.
The Institute appreciates the help of Ann Hamilton and Dr. Chris Swanson of the Office of Merit Awards for helping Institute staff organize this presentation.
