Each spring, the Newcombe Foundation determines its fellowship, scholarship and endowment awards for the coming academic year. Final data on the distribution of awards is compiled from reports submitted by participating colleges and universities at the end of each academic year. Thus, awards determined in the spring of 2009 will benefit students during the 2009-10 academic year, and final data on these awards will be available in late 2010.

From 1981-82 through 2009-10, the Foundation awarded just over $50 million in grants to provide scholarships and fellowships in higher education

• The Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships, run by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, has received $18.2 million and 1,067 nationally selected young scholars were supported as Newcombe Fellows.
• Newcombe Scholarships were established at ninety-seven colleges and universities with $31.9 million from the Foundation. Based upon institutional reports to the Foundation, well over 30,000 Newcombe Scholarship awards assisted students at these institutions.
• Newcombe-endowed scholarship funds were established at fifty-seven higher education institutions. Most endowment grants from the Foundation were augmented by matching funds from other donors. Income from these endowed funds increased the annual distribution of Newcombe Scholarship awards. The latest reported value of these funds is over $11.6 million. To date, they have provided more than $4.2 million for Newcombe Scholarships.
