Woodruff Scholars and Fellows


Since the first class of Woodruff Scholars matriculated at Emory College in the fall of 1980, almost 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students have received this esteemed recognition of their achievement and potential. Woodruff Scholarships and Fellowships are awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional character, academic achievement, leadership, and creativity, and the clear potential for enriching the lives of their contemporaries at Emory University.
