Pomona
College Student Awarded Beinecke Brothers Memorial
Scholarship
|
 |
Pomona College junior Sam Cross is one of only 18 college
students nationwide selected to receive a Beinecke Brothers
Memorial Scholarship.
Beinecke Scholarships are given each year to college juniors
from select institutions who plan to continue their
education and attain a Ph.D. in social sciences, arts or
humanities at any accredited graduate school in the world.
“I'm planning, at present, to attend graduate school with
the aim of getting a Ph.D. in English,” says Cross, who is
currently studying abroad in Cambridge, England. “After
that, I hope to become a professor at a college or
university and spend my time teaching and researching.”
The Beinecke Scholarship seeks to encourage and enable
highly motivated students to pursue opportunities available
to them and to be courageous in the selection of a graduated
course of study. Since 1975 the program has selected more
than 335 college juniors from 94 different schools for
support during graduate study at any accredited university.
Each scholar receives $2,000 immediately prior to entering
graduate school and an additional $30,000 while attending
graduate school. 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
graduated study as soon as possible following graduation
from college, and must utilize all of the funding within
five years of completion of undergraduate studies.
The Beinecke Scholarship Program was established in 1971 by
the Board of Directors of The Sperry and Hutchinson Company
to honor Edwin, Frederick, and Walter Beinecke. The Board
created an endowment to provide substantial scholarships for
the graduate education of young men and women of exceptional
promise. Pomona College is one of 94 schools invited to
nominate one junior for the scholarship each year.
Pomona College is one of the nation’s premier liberal arts
institutions, offering a comprehensive program in the arts,
humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Its
hallmarks include small classes, close relationships between
students and faculty, and a range of opportunities for
student research. Visit Pomona College on the web at
