Ehlmann and Gilmore will enter England’s University of Oxford in October, 100 years after the first class of American Rhodes Scholars did in 1904. The scholars were selected from 963 applicants endorsed by 366 colleges and universities. The scholarships provide two or three years of study at Oxford.

University students, graduates win high-profile fellowships, scholarships

Washington University students and recent graduates in Arts & Sciences have made an impressive showing in their annual quest for prestigious national scholarships and fellowships, including four recipients of the 2003 Andrew W. Mellon Fellowships in Humanistic Studies. “It’s an honor for any institution to place a student in the Mellon program and getting four of these awards in one year is fairly amazing,” said Dirk M. Killen, Ph.D., assistant dean, academic coordinator and fellowships adviser in Arts & Sciences.
