Three seniors with North Carolina connections were selected as 2010 Rhodes Scholars on Saturday. The scholarships, worth about $50,000 each, fund two to four years of study at Oxford University in England. The three students are among 32 from the United States picked for the honor this year.
Two are students at UNC-Chapel Hill; one attends the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Elizabeth Blair "Libby" Longino, of Dallas, Texas, and Henry Lawlor Spelman, of Swarthmore, Pa., both 22, have each been attending UNC on Morehead-Cain scholarships. Longino plans to use her scholarship to study forced migration. Spelman plans to study Greek and Latin languages and literature while at Oxford.
