Through partnerships with institutions across the nation (and into the U.K.), Scholars receive annual awards that range from $5,400 to $75,000 (four-year awards total an average of $21,600-$300,000) with additional funds for enrichment activities such as summer experiences, international travel and study, research, leadership programs, conferences and internships.
The conventions offer Stamps Scholars the opportunity to hear from speakers, participate in discussions on a variety of topics, explore the host city's cultural atmosphere and perform in or watch a talent show featuring performances by Stamps Scholars.
A major benefit of the Stamps Scholarship is access to a national network of Scholars and alumni who are eager to connect.
Scholars have the option to be included in an online, searchable directory, where they can post their career interests and information in order to connect with other like-minded individuals.
