Willow Dalehite '22 and Ben Weissenbach '20 awarded Gates Cambridge Scholarships

Princeton University alumni Willow Dalehite of the Class of 2022 and Bennett Weissenbach of the Class of 2020 will head to the University of Cambridge in the fall as recipients of Gates Cambridge Scholarships. Dalehite and Weissenbach are among 23 U.S. winners of the scholarship.

About 80 scholarships annually give students from around the world the opportunity to pursue postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge. Both Dalehite and Weissenbach intend to pursue Ph.D. degrees at Cambridge; some Gates Cambridge scholars choose a one-year master’s program instead. Recipients from other countries will be announced in April.

The program was established in 2000 by a donation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to Cambridge to build a global network of future leaders committed to improving the lives of others.
