Penelope Lusk, a Ph.D. candidate at Penn GSE, has been awarded a 2024 Queen Elizabeth Scholarship, which covers all fees and provides a stipend of 16,000 pounds, or about $20,000, for a year of study at the University of Oxford in England.

A committee of Penn faculty select the Queen Elizabeth Scholar.
