A senior from St. Peter’s College (NJ) has been selected to receive the Davies-Jackson Scholarship, administered by CIC’s Consortium for the Advancement of Private Higher Education. The ninth recipient of the Scholarship, Rose Holandez will study social and political sciences at St. John’s College of Cambridge University in Great Britain.
    Holandez is the second student from St. Peter’s College to compete successfully for the Scholarship (Delicia Reynolds, a 1999 graduate of St. Peter’s, studied social and political sciences and founded the College’s first gospel choir during her tenure at Cambridge). Holandez, a social and political science major at St. Peter’s, has conducted urban field work in both Korea and the Philippines, and has previously been a fellow at the Junior Summer Institute at the Woodrow Wilson School for Public Policy and International Affairs at Princeton University.
    The Davies-Jackson Scholarship provides tuition and expenses for two years, and gives students with exceptional academic records and who are among the first in their families to graduate from college the opportunity to participate in a course of study at St. John’s. The Scholarship commemorates two Cambridge faculty members who provided opportunities for the anonymous donor when he was a young man at St. John’s.
