This year I was fortunate enough to be chosen as the English Speaking Union of America's Luard- Morse scholar. The scholarship was designed to give junior collegiate scholars at a United Negro College Fund institution, Howard University, or Hamptom University the chance to study at the school of their choice in the United Kingdom for a semester. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide the scholar with an opportunity to gain global perspective and experience while pursuing their academic passions. As the 72nd Luard-Morse scholar and sole recipient of the reward for the academic year of 2013-2014, I chose to apply to Oxford University in Oxford, UK. To my elation, I was accepted to Oxford's St. Edmunds Hall; the oldest of 38 colleges on Oxford's campus. While abroad I will major in biochemistry and minor in neuroscience, and pathology for the two spring terms respectively. Although my tuition, room and board are covered by the generous scholarship, I still have to personally finance other educational related finances during my matriculation abroad. Any help is very much appreciated!
