Two Northwestern students were named Rhodes Scholars, the Rhodes Trust announced Sunday.
Weinberg senior Mallory Dwinal, of Gig Harbor, Wash., and Music senior Anna Yermakova, of Buffalo Grove, Ill., won the prestigious scholarship and will study at Oxford University.
Rhodes Scholarships provide all expenses for two or three years of study at the University of Oxford in England, and may allow funding in some instances for four years, according to a Rhodes Trust press release.
Rhodes Scholarships are “the oldest and best known award for international study, and arguably the most famous academic award available to American college graduates,” said Elliot F. Gerson, American Secretary of the Rhodes Trust, in the press release.
