Hodson Scholarship ??

[danokgh]

<p>I received the Hodson Scholarship and I wanted to know more about it through CC since I will not be able to attend SOHOP luncheon this coming 14th. </p>

<p>So I was wondering what else the school offers other than the money. I mean $114,000 is really big money and I'm really excited about this, but just wanted to know what else this entails.
For example, as I am interested in doing undergrad research, does the school help the scholars to do their research or intern? Or, do they provide something like faculty mentor program??</p>

<p>Also, if there's something else about this scholarship that you think is important, please let me know!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I believe it only goes toward tuition–but it is highly prestigious. Hopkins offers very few merit scholarships–and I believe only about 20 Hodson’s a year. There are @1250 in a class.</p>

<p>There are, however, other sources for research funding. There are Provost’s research awards, and numerous others. There is also the Woodrow Wilson Research Fellowship. I assume you did not get one (I don’t know if you applied) for Freshman year but you have another chance to apply for next year. My son got a Woodrow Wilson for his last 3 years and it paid him $7,500 to support his research–which paid for a lot of traveling.</p>
