The Davies-Jackson Scholarship provides a distinctive opportunity for graduating college seniors who possess exceptional academic records and who are the first in their families to graduate from college, to enroll in a course of study at St. John’s College.
The scholarship, valued at approximately $50,000 is funded by an anonymous donor who wishes to provide the same opportunities at St. John’s that he was afforded as a young man. Offered annually since 1996 the scholarship is now administered by the Council of Independent Colleges.
Applications are accepted for study in the following subjects: Archaeology and Anthropology; Classics; Economics; English; Geography; History; History of Art; Modern and Medieval Languages; Music; Philosophy; and Social and Political Sciences.
The deadline for applications for the 2011 scholarship is November 1, 2010. Applications will be reviewed by a ten-person U.S. Selection Committee, chaired by A. Graham Down. In December, the most promising applications will be forwarded to Cambridge to be reviewed by admissions tutors in each subject matter. Should an applicant be selected for admission he or she will be contacted by Cambridge in January 2011.
