Three science graduate students nominated for competitive Rhodes and Marshall scholarships

Three graduate students in the Penn State Eberly College of Science were nominated for the competitive and prestigious Rhodes and Marshall scholarships: Nate Carey, biotechnology; Anshuta Beeram, premedical/medical and comparative literature; and Kueyoung Kim, chemistry, with a minor in mathematics.

The Rhodes Scholarship provides graduate students the opportunity to study at the University of Oxford and is one of the oldest and most sought-after international postgraduate awards. The Marshall Scholarship was founded in 1953 by the Parliament of the United Kingdom and provides an American graduate student with one to three years of study in almost any field of study at any institution in the U.K.  

Additional Penn Staters who qualified for the nominations are:

• Olivia DiPrinzio, energy engineering and earth science and policy, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. 
• A class of 2022 alumna from the College of the Liberal Arts who opted not to be named.

Applying for the Marshall and Rhodes scholarships

Students must be recommended by their university to apply for the Marshall and Rhodes scholarships. At Penn State, Undergraduate Research and Fellowship Mentoring (URFM) works with students to determine which scholarships they are most competitive for and helps to refine applications and prepare for interviewing.  

Undergraduate Research and Fellowships Mentoring is part of the Penn State Office of Undergraduate Education.
