Three Schwarzman Scholars Mark Historic First for Rutgers
January 14, 2025
Two Rutgers alumni and one senior were named Schwarzman Scholars – one from each campus location in a historic first for the university.
Tania Martinez, a 2022 graduate, is the first from Rutgers University-Camden selected for the prestigious award. Senior Chinonso Anyanwu from Rutgers University-Newark and alumna Nina Gohel from Rutgers University-New Brunswick were also named to the 2025-2026 Class of Schwarzman Scholars, considered one of the most selective graduate fellowships in the world.
They are among 150 scholars representing 38 countries and 105 universities to receive the opportunity to attend a one-year, fully funded master's degree program in global affairs at Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University in Beijing starting in August. This year’s scholars were selected from a record-breaking pool of nearly 5,000 applicants worldwide.
