Nicholas Hartman, a Schreyer honors scholar majoring in chemistry with minors in biochemistry and molecular biology, and Annina Burns, a Schreyer scholar majoring in nutrition and media studies, have won Marshall Scholarships to study in the United Kingdom. They are the first students to win from Penn State since the mid 1990s, and only the fifth and sixth Penn State students to win Marshall Scholarships since the program started in 1953. The Marshall Scholarships began as a gesture of thanks from the British government for the United States' assistance in rebuilding Europe after World War II. Each year, 40 scholars are selected to spend two years in graduate school at a British university, with all fees, living expenses, books, cost of thesis and research, fares to and from the United States, and daily travel paid by the British government.
