Bobby Jones Scholars 2025

Emory University has chosen four seniors for the Robert T. Jones Jr. Scholarship program, sending them here, to the University of St Andrews, for a year of fully funded study.

The Robert T. Jones Jr. Scholarship program is a prestigious award that emphasizes academic excellence, exemplary character, and integrity. 

Joanne Brzinski, Emory College Senior Associate Dean for undergraduate education and Director of the Bobby Jones Program noted that "It is always a challenge to select just four from the highly accomplished students who have left their mark on Emory....they will represent Emory well as ambassadors to St Andrews and to Scotland."

The selected scholars are Lydia King, David Lee, Elizabeth Martin and Lucas San Miguel.

Two of the students will be joining us here at the Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Studies (GSIS): David will be pursuing the MLitt in Global Social and Political Thought and Lucas will be taking the MSc in Global Sustainable Development.

This selection honours Bobby Jones' legacy and highlights Emory's commitment to academic excellence and global engagement. We look forward to welcoming the Scholars at GSIS.
