Summer Fellowship Recipients Announced
Four Woodberry Forest School students have been selected to receive the Grills Fellowship for the summer of 2015.
Andrew Holmes ’16 will travel to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana to work with the tribal council for two weeks. Richard Madden ’16 will intern in the office of Congressman Charles Rangel, who represents New York's 13th district, for a week; he'll then spend a week with a law firm specializing in public defender work. William von Hassell ’16 will intern at Montpelier, the home of James Madison, in Orange, Virginia, for four weeks. William Hunt ’16 will intern with Virginia Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam for a week and with the Museum of the White House of the Confederacy in Richmond for one week.
The fellowship supports students who wish to pursue summer work in any area of national, state, or local government, or in public history venues such as museums or national historic sites. It is funded by Joe and Marge Grills of Rapidan, Virginia. Mr. Grills, a member of the Woodberry Forest School Board of Trustees since 2007, chair of its Investment Committee, and chairman emeritus of the Montpelier Foundation, is devoted to highlighting the significance of the US Constitution, not only in this country, but also in civilized societies around the world.
