Gilbert Clee Scholarship
Deadline Extended: Tuesday, April 4, 2008
by 11:59 p.m.
The Gilbert Clee
Scholarship is awarded annually to a member of the sophomore class. Friends
and associates of Gilbert Harrison Clee, Wesleyan class of 1935 and the late
President of the Board of Trustees of Wesleyan University, established the
Scholarship in his memory.
To be eligible, an individual must have demonstrated high standards of
leadership, a deep commitment to Wesleyan University. A specific objective will
be to select an individual who exemplifies the qualities that characterized
Gilbert Harrison Clee as a humane person and as a leader. (For additional
information about this scholarship, and Gilbert Clee, please see the fellowship binder in the Career Resource Center Library.)
Selection will be made without reference to
financial need. The Clee Scholar will receive an initial $1000 prize and be
eligible for an annual scholarship grant based on financial need. The award
also includes career guidance by a representative of McKinsey and Company,
an international management consulting firm. McKinsey's representative will
work with the Clee Scholar during the latter's junior year to develop a
summer program based on a self-supporting job, usually outside of the United
States. Travel costs will be covered, if necessary, from the Scholarship
Fund. In the event that the remuneration from the job does not provide
complete coverage of the living expenses, a supplementary stipend will be
provided.
The application deadline will be on Friday, April 4, 2008. Applicants will need
to submit, via MyCRC by 11:59 pm:
-
An essay (2-3 pages) describing your interest in the objectives of the Clee Scholarship.
The essay should address your interest in the broad implications of
multinational business enterprises, discuss your reflections on the need
for a creative balance between the public and private sectors, and
discuss your intent to pursue a career in business. As the past
winners' proposals demonstrate, it is fine to include an example of a
creative balance between the public and private sectors that you have
read about or observed from your own experience.
-
A
resume.
-
An unofficial
copy of your transcript.
Additionally, please submit one copy of a Letter of Recommendation
from a faculty member.
Please feel free to contact the CRC at 860 685 2180 to make an
appointment with Persephone Hall if
you have any questions.
