“Every year we select students to join the Yeager Scholars from a phenomenal student pool. This year was no exception and a very difficult undertaking,” said Dr. Nicki LoCascio, dean of the Marshall Honors College. “I am excited that these students chose to accept the scholarship and come to Marshall University. I look forward to working with them.”
Yeager Scholars have all expenses covered for four consecutive years of undergraduate study at Marshall, plus a summer study at the University of Oxford in England. The program includes intensive leadership activities, community service and enrichment experiences. Yeager Scholars are expected to make significant contributions to the Marshall community during their time as undergraduates.
The 33rd class of Yeager Scholars is named for Jim and Bobbie Farley, ardent supporters of the Yeager program and Marshall University, who currently live in Cincinnati, Ohio. Jim Farley is a member of the Marshall University Board of Governors.
The current value of the Yeager Scholarship is $143,000 over four years.
