The John Andrew and Margaret E. Robinson Memorial Fellowship

The faculty in the Communication Studies Program invites letters of application for The John Andrew and Margaret E. Robinson Memorial Fellowship in Communication Studies.

In 1989 Margaret Robinson established this graduate scholarship in honor of the life and work of her husband, who had a career in communications, with the US Merchant Marines, the US Army, and then AT&T. Upon Margaret Robinson’s death in 2000 her children made an additional gift to the fund and renamed it to honor both John and Margaret Robinson. The amount of the award varies depending on the interest the endowment earned that year but has been approximately $700-1,000 per semester over the past few years.
