Paduano Family Scholarship in Philosophy

The Paduano Family Scholarship is awarded to students who meet the following criteria:

• Current undergraduate student majoring in Philosophy.
• Complete the CU Boulder General Scholarship Application.
• Complete the Morris Judd Scholarship in Philosophy application by the posted deadline.

Applicants for the Morris Judd Scholarship will automatically be considered for the Paduano Family Scholarship.

The scholarship is awarded based on both merit and financial need, with need more strongly weighted. Applications from women and underrepresented students are particularly encouraged; however, an applicant’s gender identity will not be considered a factor in the selection process. Underrepresented students include those students from geographic areas and socioeconomic backgrounds who are historically underrepresented in the field of Philosophy, and/or students who have faced unusual adversity. A completed application should include a personal statement (500-words maximum). In composing the personal statement, applicants should comment on their particular interests and projects in philosophy and elaborate on any circumstances they would like the selection committee to consider, including personal hardship or disadvantage (financial or otherwise), academic awards or honors, and involvement in community outreach.
