Two Harvard Seniors Named Marshall Scholars

Two Harvard seniors—Kenzie Bok '11 and Jonathan U. Warsh '11—have been awarded the prestigious Marshall Scholarship, according to a University press release.

The scholarship provides for two years of study, with the possibility of a year-long extension, at a British university.

Bok, the current president of the Institute of Politics and a Pforzheimer House history concentrator, plans to pursue studies in theology and intellectual history at the University of Cambridge, according to the release.

Warsh, who is involved with the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter, will enroll in a joint degree program with the London School of Economics and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He is a resident of Lowell House and government concentrator.

Bok and Warsh bring Harvard's total count of Marshall Scholars to 249. The program was instituted in 1953 and commemorates George Marshall, who led efforts to provide economic aid to Europe after the devastation unleashed during World War II.
