Early Writes

5-6 people get offered the Schupf Scholarship. You get assigned a faculty mentor in addition to your advisor. You also get invited to meet with faculty and deans throughout the year at Schupf dinners and receptions. Lastly, you are taken under the wing of Axel Schupf, prominent Amherst alum who funded the scholarship program (along with lots of other things at Amherst). My D is Schupf Scholarship and it’s a bit mysterious, basically it means you get a some extra attention from various senior people, as well as the funding.
