Double Major Is Named Rutgers’ Fourth Beinecke Scholar
June 8, 2026
Jane Teran, who begins her senior year at Rutgers University-New Brunswick in the fall, has been named a Beinecke Scholar, one of 16 students nationwide to receive the honor that provides funding toward advanced degrees.
Teran, who attends the School of Arts and Sciences, becomes the fourth Rutgers student ever to receive the competitive award designed to encourage and enable highly motivated college juniors to pursue graduate studies in the arts, humanities or social sciences. The program provides each scholar with $5,000 before entering graduate school and another $30,000 while attending graduate school.
For Rutgers, she represents the second scholar to receive the award back-to-back after Rigo Salvatierra received it last year.
