Congrats Hohum Alum Sarah!

Congratulations to ARHU alum Sarah Cobau ’24 on winning a Marshall Scholarship! One of the most prestigious academic honors available to American undergraduates, the Marshall Scholarship provides funded graduate study in the United Kingdom.

Cobau, who earned degrees in history and philosophy, politics and economics, will pursue a Master of Science degree in environment and development at the University of Edinburgh and a Master of Arts degree in history at University College London. Currently serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, Cobau said she was “surprised and thrilled” to receive the call from her interview panel.

“I am honored to have received the scholarship, and I am excited for the opportunity to support and strengthen the U.S.-U.K. partnership in confronting the climate crisis,” she said. “I am so grateful for all the guidance and support I have received from the University of Maryland.”

A two-year award, the Marshall Scholarship covers all university fees, cost-of-living expenses and includes an annual book grant, thesis grant, research and daily travel grants, and fares to and from the United States.
