Awards & Scholarships

MK Shaw Scholarship (2023)

On the basis of my excellent academic performance and faculty recommendations, I was awarded a one-time scholarship to cover my final semester of tuition.

Kortendick Scholarship (2021-2022)

I was awarded this competitive merit scholarship for $5,000 toward my first two semesters of study due to my 4.0 undergraduate GPA and high GRE scores.

Garside Cup (2018)

When I graduated from Yale University, I was awarded the Garside Cup, an award given to the Timothy Dwight College senior who has most distinguished themselves in the field of history.   

Yale Commencement Marshal (2018)

At the 2018 Yale University Commencement ceremony, I served as one of only twenty-eight student marshals to receive a symbolic diploma from the university president on behalf of my fellow students. I was selected for this honor because I was the most academically accomplished student in my residential college, Timothy Dwight.

Phi Beta Kappa Early Election (2017)

As a junior at Yale University, I was selected for early election to the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society. I was one of only thirteen Yale juniors who were granted this honor due to their superior academic achievement.
