Rosemary Duffy Larson Trust Makes Gift to Honors College

The Rosemary Duffy Larson Trust has gifted the Farquhar Honors College funds to help honors students pursue graduate degrees at NSU. Named after the trust, the Rosemary Duffy Larson Honors Graduate Scholarship will prioritize students with a history of community service and financial need.

Honors students are among the highest undergraduate academic achievers at NSU. Many honors students aspire to pursue graduate degrees, with 59% of students already in the Dual Admission program. However, graduate school presents a financial challenge for students, as many must rely on personal funds and student loans to finance their graduate education. This scholarship will alleviate some of this financial stress and allow more honors students to further their education at NSU.

The scholarship’s namesake, Rosemary Duffy Larson, was a philanthropist committed to serving the South Florida community. She leaves a legacy of charity and service that will benefit honors students who share her dedication to the community.

Honors students are eligible for the scholarship if they complete an undergraduate degree at NSU, maintain good standing in the Honors College, and fulfill the requirements for either the Honors Transdisciplinary Studies minor, general citation, or research citation in honors. They must also plan to enroll in a full-time graduate program at NSU. The scholarship amount will vary.
