Each spring, the Newcombe Foundation determines its fellowship, scholarship and endowment awards for the coming academic year. Final data on the distribution of student 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 2011 will benefit students during the 2011-12 academic year, and final data on these awards will be available in late 2012.
From 1981-82 through 2011-12, the Foundation has awarded $54 million in grants to provide scholarships and fellowships in higher education.
- The Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships program, administered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, has received $19.7 million and 1,107 nationally selected promising scholars have been named as Newcombe Fellows.
- Over 33,000 Newcombe Scholarships have been awarded to students at ninety-eight colleges and universities through $34.4 million in grants from the Foundation and matching funds secured by its institutional partners.
- Newcombe-endowed scholarship funds have been established at fifty-eight higher education institutions. Most endowment grants from the Foundation have been augmented by matching funds from other donors. Income from these endowed funds is applied each year toward Newcombe Scholarships awarded to students. The latest reported value of these funds is $14 million. To date, they have provided $5 million for Newcombe Scholarships.
