Fellowship Challenge
A bequest
from the estate of David Almon ’53 and Grace Almon, combined
with matching funds from SAIS alumni, provided 10 members
of the class of 2013 with generous fellowships worth $30,000 each.
Awarded to the students over two years, the fellowships will reduce
their tuition by nearly half.
Director of Admissions Sidney Jackson credited the fellowships with
helping to recruit top students to SAIS. “We know our applicants want
to come to SAIS and that
financial aid is a critical
component driving their decision,” he said. “The
students who were offered these fellowships were
quick to choose SAIS.”
To continue to provide our admissions team
with the tools needed to recruit the best and brightest—and
to give our alumni the opportunity to
leverage the impact of their gifts—SAIS will offer
10 of these significant fellowships to members of
the class of 2014. Contributions of $15,000, which
can be paid over two years, will be matched dollarfor-dollar
with general SAIS fellowship funds for a
total of $30,000 over two years. Fellowships can be
named in honor of the donor, a family member or a
member of SAIS’s faculty.
Commitments are needed by March 1. To join
this effort, contact Spencer Abruzzese, associate
director of development, at spencera@jhu.edu or
202.663.5646.
“The Current-use Fellowship
Challenge provided us with a
wonderful opportunity to renew
our family’s support of the
Helmut Sonnenfeldt Fellowship
in honor of my father, a distinguished
public servant, a JHU
alumnus and trustee emeritus,
and a former member of
SAIS’s faculty. The generous
matching funds provided by
the challenge will significantly
impact the fellowship award
and will make a meaningful
difference for the student who
receives it.”
