And The Laura Scudder Women’s Studies Scholarship Goes To …
May 17, 2012
On Monday, May 14, Megan McKeown (’15), Peace Studies Major and Women’s Studies Minor, was the well deserved recipient of the Laura Scudder Women’s Studies Scholarship.
In honor of Laura Scudder’s multi-disciplined and diverse accomplishments, applicants were asked to submit a 500-word essay explaining how their Major field of study intersects with the study of women. In addition to demonstrating academic motivation, applicants were asked to provide evidence of experience, interest and commitment to women’s issues outside of the classroom (e.g., social outreach, activism, leadership relevant to women). Decisions were based on demonstrable commitment to women’s issues, academic merit and financial need.
Congratulations to Megan!
