Philip Evans Scholarship Foundation
- Philip Evans Scholarship Foundation
The Philip Evans Scholarship Foundation is a scholarship program at Swarthmore College that "is committed to empowering students to develop themselves as critical thinkers, compassionate citizens, and engaged participants in local and world affairs." The program was established in 1986 by Jerome Kohlberg, Jr. in memory of his long-time friend and classmate, Dr. Philip Evans of the Swarthmore College class of 1948.
The Foundation provides scholars' need based tuition, room and board, as well as funds to "pursue their interests and aspirations" through international travel, professional internships, independent research, and community service.
Applicants cannot apply to be a Philip Evans Scholar. Candidates for the Scholarship are selected from the pool of admitted students based on the recommendation of the Swarthmore Admissions Office.
The Program
The Philip Evans Scholarship Foundation program includes:
*the loan part of an Evans scholar’s financial aid package is replaced by a grant, so that scholars can graduate without a burden of debt.
*an Opportunity Grant of $4,000 a year intended to free scholars from the necessity of taking an ordinary summer job, allowing them to plan creative and life enhancing experiences which will expand their horizons and help them achieve their goals.
*a one-time computer allowance of up to $1,500.
*individualized support and mentoring by college deans and the foundation advisors.
*a network of Philip Evans alumni and staff, eager to mentor current scholars and offer internships and advice to help them achieve their goals.
