How are applications reviewed and selected?

All eligible applications are initially reviewed by the Penn Thouron Faculty Committee, with representatives from the College of Arts and Sciences, Wharton, Engineering and Nursing Schools, who will select finalists for interview. Finalists are chosen by the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Selection Committee for interviews. And from among those finalists, the Thouron Selection Committee, consisting of past Thouron Scholars from the U.K. and U.S., together with Thouron family members will select the awardees.
