UT Dallas alumna wins scholarship
Sophie Rutenbar, a Richardson native and alumna of The University of Texas at Dallas, has won the very selective and prestigious Marshall Scholarship.
The award, presented to at least 40 Americans each year, is funded by the British government and allows American students to attend graduate school in the United Kingdom on full scholarship, including living and travel expenses. Rutenbar plans to pursue a master’s degree at Oxford University, The Queens University of Belfast or The London School of Economics.
Not only is she UT Dallas’ first Marshall Scholar, but the university’s former McDermott Scholar also made history last year by being named its first Truman Scholar.
“She has gotten where she is today because of her determination – her ability to overcome her own doubts, dive right into a situation and do what needs to be done,” said Dr. Charlie Leonard, director of the McDermott Scholars Program.
