Keasbey Scholarship

For over sixty years the Keasbey Foundation has supported some of the most gifted and intellectually curious American college graduates as they embark on post-graduate study in the United Kingdom.

The American students are selected on a rotating basis from the following institutions: Amherst, Bowdoin, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Haverford, Middlebury, Princeton, Swarthmore, Wesleyan and Yale. Each year, four of these colleges are allowed to nominate two or three candidates for consideration by the Keasbey Foundation, and in fall of 2021 those schools will be Bowdoin, Haverford, Middlebury, Wesleyan. Students do not apply directly to the Keasbey Foundation: they apply through their college or university.

All of the nominated students are interviewed by the trustees of the Keasbey Foundation in Philadelphia at the law offices of Morgan Lewis in early December. Awards are announced by mid December.

The award supports two years of study at one of four British Universities: Oxford, Cambridge, University of Edinburgh, or University of Wales at Aberystwyth. The Foundation does not permit a deferral of the scholarship or a break in the study once the scholar has matriculated.
