In 2008, two Foundation Fellows were named Rhodes Scholars and one Foundation Fellow received both Truman and Udall scholarships. The Fellows class of 2008 also included a Goldwater recipient, an American Constitution Society Fellow and a Fulbright recipient.

  Exceptional students selected as candidates for a Foundation Fellowship may be awarded the prestigious Bernard Ramsey Honors Scholarship.
