BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Former Indiana Women's Basketball guard Grace Withrow is a Big Ten postgraduate recipient. Two students competing in intercollegiate athletics from each of the 14 Big Ten institutions who plan to continue their education at a graduate degree program were each awarded a $7,500 scholarship, based on primarily academic achievements.
Withrow graduated last weekend with a degree in healthcare management and policy with a 3.937 GPA. A two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, the Valparaiso, Ind. native joined the program as a walk on in October 2018. She will continue her studies in occupational therapy school at IUPUI starting this summer. IU Football's Michael McGinnis was also awarded the postgraduate scholarship.
This year's recipients span 19 different sports and will continue their education in a variety of different disciplines, including: biochemistry, biological sciences, business, English, engineering physics, exercise science, healthcare management policy, kinesiology, mechanical engineering, movement and sports sciences, nutrition and health sciences, physical therapy, pre-medicine, pre-pharmacy, psychology, public health, speech language and hearing sciences, special education and women's studies
Each Big Ten institution developed its own on-campus selection process when awarding the scholarship. Students must have maintained at least a 3.2 grade-point-average, demonstrated leadership qualities, served as an excellent role model and intended to continue their academic work beyond their baccalaureate degree at a graduate degree program. The scholarship will be used to pay expenses of the student's postgraduate education to include such related activities as research and teaching, as well as other expenses such as tuition, fees, room and board, required course-related supplies and books. In order to retain the scholarship, the recipient must be accepted into a full-time graduate degree program within three years from the fall semester after selection. The complete list of 2018-19 Big Ten Postgraduate Scholarship recipients can be found below.
