Recently, Elizabethtown College announced seven Stamps Scholars recipients of the Class of 2023. The Stamps Scholarship Program recognizes and rewards exceptional students who exemplify leadership, perseverance, scholarship, service, overcoming obstacles and innovation. Elizabethtown College is one of the few elite educational institutions with which Stamps has partnered, joining University of Michigan, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Miami, University of Virginia, California Institute of Technology, UCLA and University of Illinois.

“These students represent a diverse group, intend to pursue a variety of majors, have great leadership potential, and are very committed to service,” Professor and Chair of Psychology and Director of the Stamps Program Jean Pretz said.
