I learned this week that I’ve been chosen to receive the nation’s most generous independent scholarship for graduate studies in the arts. The\u00a0Jack Kent Cooke Foundation<\/a>\u00a0is a private foundation established in 2000 by Jack Kent Cooke to help exceptionally promising students with financial need reach their full potential through education.

The Award covers cost of attendance in a graduate degree program for up to\u00a0$50,000<\/strong> per year for three years (extending to multiple degrees as needed).

Candidates for the scholarship must be nominated by a faculty representative at their undergraduate institution. Each college or university may nominate up to two candidates. I was nominated by NEC’s Provost and Dean, Thomas Novak, and recommended by Chair of\u00a0Composition, Michael Gandolfi, and Chair of Liberal Arts, Patrick Keppel.
