All Workshops and Information Sessions

Beinecke Scholarship Information Session

Sessions provide students with essential information needed to determine interest, eligibility and suitability for these competitive scholarship programs. Sessions will also contain information about the campus application process and the assistance that students will receive if selected as the campus nominee.

Through the Beinecke Scholarship Program, 20 to 22 college juniors of exceptional ability and achievement will be chosen this year to receive up to $34,000 for the first two years of graduate school. The UW is able to nominate one student per year for this award. Applicants will be considered for superior strength of character, intellectual ability, and sense of purpose. They must give evidence of creativity and leadership, and are expected to have well-formulated, although not necessarily immutable, ideas about the direction of future studies and subsequent careers. There should be evidence that a nominee's financial circumstances warrant assistance and that a Beinecke Scholarship will encourage pursuit of a program of graduate education most likely to fulfill the individual's potential.

Campus Application Deadline: January 12, 2010

For more information, please see the Beinecke Scholarship website.
