Alex Gruber, a May 2018 graduate of St. Norbert College, was awarded a Phi Kappa Phi fellowship worth $5,000.
Gruber, from Plover, Wis., was one of 51 selected nationally to receive the award, which is given to Phi Kappa Phi members entering their first year of graduate school or professional study. Gruber plans to attend Boston College School of Theology and Ministry to study for a master’s degree in theology in the fall.
Selection for the fellowship award is based on the applicant’s promise of success in graduate or professional study, including academic achievement, service and leadership experience, letters of recommendation, work samples, personal statement and career goals, and acceptance at an approved graduate or professional program.
Gruber graduated summa cum laude from the Honors Program at St. Norbert College.
