The Sachs Scholarship was established in 1970 to commemorate Dan Sachs, an outstanding student and fine athlete who intended to enter public service. The purpose of the scholarship is to enlarge students’ experience of the world and foster the development of individuals whose life’s work is likely to serve the public good. The program was recently expanded to allow one graduate from Worcester College, Oxford to spend a year as a Visiting Student in the Graduate School at Princeton University. Details Students must be selected by the Scholarship Selection Committee at Worcester College to be considered for admission by the Graduate School.
