New Multimillion Dollar Scholarship for Grad Students in Gov

New Multimillion Dollar Scholarship for Grad Students in GovNew Multimillion Dollar Scholarship for Grad Students in GovThe Robertson family has created a multimillion dollar scholarship for qualittuate students pursuing a career in public service. The new Robertson Foundation for Government will offer financial support to grad students who agree to work in the federal government (e.g., federal agencies, U.S. Department of State, etc.) for three years within five years after graduation. The scholarship is designed to encourage masters students to use their education in public service and consider government work as a career.The Robertson family is best known to this editor as the donator behind Princeton Universitys Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. In 2002, the Robertson heirs sued Princeton for misuse of the funds because Woody Woo graduates were not pursuing careers in public service. The suit was settled in 2009. According to one recent Princeton gra duate, the law suit didnt affect the student body and the types of students interested in the Woodrow Wilson School remained largely the same. The new Robertson Foundation for Government will presumably pick up where the Woodrow Wilson School left off. The foundation will partner with four or five universities to select eight Robertson Fellows for the upcoming academic year. None of these partner universities will be in the Ivy League.
