Fourteen students from the Fox School of Business’ nationally ranked Risk Management and Insurance program have received prestigious scholarships from The Spencer Foundation for the 2012-13 academic year.
The awards total $70,000 and break the Fox School’s past record of 10 scholarship winners in the 2011-12 award cycle. The 14 Spencer scholarships are the most awarded to any school in the nation.
The Spencer Foundation provides scholarship awards and educational grants to undergraduate and graduate risk management students. The foundation is administered by its board of directors and affiliated with the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS).
“The Spencer scholarships are the most prestigious scholarships for students studying risk management and insurance. We are very thrilled that so many Fox School students were chosen for this honor,” said R. B. Drennan, associate professor and chair of the Department of Risk, Insurance and Healthcare Management. “The foundation gave 44 awards for undergraduates this year, and once again we have the most of any other school in the country.”
This year’s Fox School of Business scholarship recipients are: Christopher Ahn, Michael Cross, Kyle Enderle, Cathleen Joan B. Gabriel, William E. Hauser II, Paul Hyer, Martin Leicht, Justin T. LoPiccolo, Regina Ross, Nicholas Roth, Alexander Schwartz, Svetlana Serhiyenia, William Thorsson and Cristina Vigilante.
