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 2010 will benefit students during the 2010-11 academic year, and final data on these awards will be available in late 2011.

From 1981-82 through 2010-11, the Foundation has awarded nearly $52 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 $18.9 million and 1,087 nationally selected promising scholars were named as Newcombe Fellows.
• Newcombe Scholarships have been awarded to over 30,000 students at ninety-eight colleges and universities with $32.9 million from the Foundation.
• Newcombe-endowed scholarship funds have been established at sixty-one 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 nearly $11.5 million. To date, they have provided more than $4.7 million for Newcombe Scholarships.
