Prestigious Scholarships Focus on American Dream
By Janet Sassi

Thanks to a combination of student talent, faculty experience and administrative expertise, 68 Fordham University students have been awarded external prestigious scholarships and research grants for the upcoming year. Another 39 students will receive Fordham-funded scholarships to work in summer internships or academic endeavors. In all, the students will be traveling to a score of nations all over the globe to work on projects that include an archeological dig in Albania, virology research in Germany, and a study of finance and farm development in Italy’s Mezzogiorno.

…Among those students chosen to pursue research interests both at home and abroad through Fordham’s Campion Institute are:

…Classical languages major Michael Esposito, a junior at Fordham College at Rose Hill, travels to Albania this summer as a Campion Scholar to assist on the Butrint Project, an archeological dig led by Richard Hodges, Ph.D., one of the world’s foremost late classical and medieval archeologists. Esposito, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, is co-founder and co-president of the Fordham Chess Club.
