Scholarships Offer a Gateway for Students to Further Explore Their Interests
While history is a core passion for each of these students, they’re also interested in other disciplines, like anthropology, creative writing, political science, and sociology.
They reflect on how these interests developed through classes, learning abroad, and opportunities to pursue scholarships and other awards.
