Two Princeton seniors and one Oxford student awarded Sachs Scholarship

Princeton seniors Noah James and Ethan Sample and University of Oxford student Farzana Salik have been named recipients of the Daniel M. Sachs Class of 1960 Graduating Scholarship, one of Princeton University’s highest awards.

James has been named as the Sachs Scholar at Worcester College at the University of Oxford, and Sample has been named as the Sachs Global Scholar. Salik will spend next academic year as a Sachs Visiting Scholar at Princeton.

The Sachs Scholarship is intended to broaden the global experience of its recipients by providing them with the opportunity to study, work or travel abroad after graduation. It was established by classmates and friends of Daniel Sachs, a distinguished Princeton student athlete in the Class of 1960 who attended Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Sachs died of cancer at age 28 in 1967. The award is given to those who best exemplify Sachs’ character, intelligence and commitment, and whose scholarship is most likely to benefit the public.
