SCHOLARSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP UPDATES FOR THE TEMPLE COMMUNITY

2020-2021 YEAR IN REVIEW

2020-2021 YEAR IN REVIEW

Congratulations to all the students and alumni who applied for scholarships and fellowships despite the uncertainties of this year!


A few highlights:



  • For the first time, three Temple students have won the Boren Scholarship in one cycle. Congratulations to Thomas Hernandez from Klein, Veronika Vologina from CLA, and Ian Richardson from CLA.

  • We also had our first Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) recipient from Temple University Japan, Alexander Litz, who will be studying Chinese over the summer. Alex was previously Temple Japan's first Boren recipient in 2018. Alex joins PhD candidate Coral Zayas-Colon (Portuguese) and Global Studies/Econ major Veronika Vologina (Turkish) as our other two CLS recipients for summer 2021.



Be sure to check out our list of graduate school plans at the end of the newsletter. Many students cite how applying for fellowships as an undergraduate helps them to articulate their trajectory and motivations better when they apply for graduate school, and this group of Temple students and alumni seems to make the case!
