CANDIDATE PROFILE
The Beinecke program aims to enable highly motivated students to pursue advanced study in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.  The foundation seeks out students with superior intellectual ability, scholastic achievement, and personal promise.

Strong candidates are typically planning on earning a PhD in an academic field, although those planning on MFAs are also eligible.  Performance majors may be at a disadvantage in this competition, due to the preference for academic breadth.

The strongest applications indicate:

  1. Excellent academic record
  2. Breadth of coursework
  3. Evidence of independent scholarship, research, or creative projects
  4. Likelihood that the student’s ability to attend graduate school would be significantly enhanced by the award

Beinecke Scholars must utilize the entire scholarship within 5 years of completion of their undergraduate degree.
