WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST LOUIS

Craig T. Basson, an honors student at WU, has won a Marshall Scholarship providing two and possibly three years of all-expenses-paid study at a British university of his choice. Following graduation from WU this May, he will study for a master's degree in physiology at Lincoln Collge, Oxford. As an expression of British apprecia- tion for the help Europe has received under the U.S. Marshall Plan, 30 scholarships are given each year to American students who have dis- tinguished themselves by scholastic achievement and other activities, and who ' 'display potential to make signifi- cant contributions to their society." Approximately 1000 college students apply for the scholarships each year. The awards are made initially for two years, but in some instances are ex- tended to three.
