Donald Bungum, a University of Chicago fourth-year student from Park Ridge, Ill., was one of 40 students nationwide to have been awarded the prestigious Marshall scholarship, bringing Chicago's total number of Marshall scholars to 19.

<p>Marshall Scholarships are widely thought to be second in prestige (and difficulty of receiving) to the Rhodes Scholarship. Although we did not have a Rhodes winner this year (after having three last year!) this is still a great showing for UofC!</p>

<p>Congratulations to Donald!</p>

<p>3 rhodes scholars? wow </p>

<p>I don't know a whole lot about the subject. Can some one tell me what you get a rhodes scholarship for? Do you have to study in a certain area? science, history, sociology? The marshall scholar was a chem guy, is marshall all science based?</p>

<p>Both the Rhodes and Marshall have similar requirements, excellent academics and demonstrated leadership.</p>

<p>They are open to any discipline, so no, they are not science focused, far from it.</p>

<p>Both offer great prestige, and a pretty good financial deal: Two or more years at a U in Great Britain (Oxford only for the Rhodes, a number of them for the Marshall) all tuition and fees paid, as well as a living stipend of close to 1000 british pounds per month.</p>

<p>There's been quite a bit posted on CC regarding these scholarships - use the search function and do some reading.</p>

<p>You might also search the UofC website. The section of the website on college advising has some info (dean of student's office). Finally, google still works.</p>

<p>The US Naval Academy has its fair share of Marshall scholars :D</p>

<p>Alex994,</p>

<p>With all due respect, why do post such things? This is a U. Chicago forum. We could care less about the Naval Academy. Go post there. </p>

<p>Geesh, a person can't even congratulate a person at one school without a party crasher trying to spoil things. How immature...</p>

<p>Why be happy for just one person when you can be happy for everyone? ;)</p>

<p>because this is the chicago board, obviously.</p>

<p>UChicago (as noted previously) has had quite an improvement in its Rhodes Scholarship winnings in the past decade–even before the increased selectivity of the college kicked in. No doubt that won’t hurt things going forward.</p>
