Mirabella Smith awarded Beinecke Scholarship for postgraduate study in politics

Princeton junior Mirabella Smith has been awarded a Beinecke Scholarship, which supports highly motivated students with exceptional promise to pursue Ph.D.s or other postgraduate degrees in the arts, humanities and social sciences.

Smith, of Lake Elsinore, California, is a politics concentrator who is also pursuing certificates in gender and sexuality studies, and values and public life. They plan to pursue a Ph.D. in politics and a career in academia with a goal of making their own and others’ research findings accessible amongst their peers as well as non-academics.

Smith is one of 20 students from around the country to be awarded 2023 Beinecke Scholarships, which provide each winner with $5,000 immediately prior to entering graduate school and an additional $30,000 while attending. The awards were established in 1971 and are administered by the Sperry Fund.
