The Elsie Stouffer '24 Scholarship provides funding for graduate study leading to a career in public service in Latin America. For the purposes of this scholarship, "public service" is interpreted broadly, and includes work in the non-profit, government, education, health, and other sectors. This year, there is approximately $17,000 to be awarded for graduate study; this graduate study does not need to be undertaken immediately following graduation.
In order to apply for the Elsie Stouffer '24 Scholarship, you must meet the following conditions of eligibility:
- A member of the current fourth-year class.
- A woman.

Please ensure that all application materials conform with these submission guidelines.
In addition, applicants must arrange to have two letters of recommendation submitted on their behalf, at least one of which must be from a Grinnell College faculty member.
