McCourt students awarded prestigious Bryce Harlow Fellowships

August 27, 2021

McCourt students represent more than a third of this year’s Bryce Harlow Fellowship recipients from Georgetown University.

McCourt students Robyn Engibous (MPM’23), Fiona Kohrman (MPM’23) and Rachel Martinez (MPP’23) were awarded the competitive Bryce Harlow Fellowship for the 2021-22 academic year.  

The fellowship, named after Bryce Harlow, who dedicated his life to both public service and private enterprise, is awarded to individuals who work full-time and undertake graduate-level studies on a part-time basis. “There are few opportunities for students like these who are balancing so many different responsibilities,” says Barbara Schone, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Faculty Director of the Master of Public Policy (MPP) program. In addition to an $8,000 tuition scholarship, fellows also have the opportunity to take part in a mentorship program with the Foundation’s board members. 

“Historically, our part-time students have been competitive candidates for this award, and we strongly encourage our students to apply for this fellowship,” Schone added. The application window for the 2022-23 Bryce Harlow Fellowship Program opens January 2022.
