Fast Facts about Emerson/Duffy Scholarships

WHO: Rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors, with a 3.0 GPA or higher, who are interested in international research and internships and have some financial need.

WHAT: Scholarships of up to $5,000 to support an international academic internship or independent  study. The Emerson Foundation Scholarship is for Hartwick sophomores, juniors, and seniors to expand their post-graduate career options through international internships. In an increasingly global economy and the rise of multi-national organizations that offer post-graduate employment opportunities for Hartwick students, the Emerson International Internship Scholarship provides a grant for students to pursue their interests in an international setting. All majors can apply. Emerson internships must be registered for academic credit

The Duffy Family Ambassador Fund, a scholarship endowment to support educational travel abroad by Hartwick College students, was established in 1999 by former Hartwick Trustee John Duffy H'00, P'91, P'95 and his wife, Anne Duffy P'91, P'95. They are the parents of Hartwick graduates Hilary Duffy '91 and Kevin Duffy '95. Scholarships from the Fund are awarded annually to students who have demonstrated financial need and have provided a strong case for their proposed program abroad. Students must register for academic credit for the study.

Duffy Scholarships are meant to make it possible for individual students to have an in-depth, one-on-one experience. This scholarship provides for students to undertake independent/directed study abroad. All majors are eligible. International students may propose to undertake the independent/directed study in a U.S. locale with which they are unfamiliar or in an international setting other than their own country.
