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.
- Fluent in French or Spanish.
- Commited to a career in public service in Latin America.
Applicants must submit the following elements to the Office of Social Commitment, 1233 Part St. by Tuesday, January 20, 2009:
- An unofficial transcript, obtained from the Registrar's Office
- A one-page resume
- A three-page essay describing their interest in Latin America, their preparation for their chosen career, graduate study plans, and career goals.
- A scholarship application permission form and waiver
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. Letters should address the applicant's academic ability and potential contributions to public service in Latin America. There is no application form.
