Music School Pupil Obtains Marshall Scholarship Award
UCLA Student Herman Chavez Wins Prestigious 2022 Marshall Scholarship
Herman Chavez, a transfer student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), has been awarded the highly coveted 2022 Marshall Scholarship. This prestigious postgraduate award is given to American students each year to study in the UK, with only 4% of applicants being successful.
As a Marshall Scholar, Herman will embark on a unique academic journey, studying for an MSc in Global Affairs and an MMus in Musicology at King's College London. His thesis advisors include Cesar Favila (UCLA Musicology), Katherine In-Young Lee (UCLA Musicology), and Tamara Levitz (UCLA Musicology/Comparative Literature).
Herman's academic achievements and leadership potential were recognised by his scholarship advisor, Rebecca Blustein. His dedication to his studies and his aspirations to obtain a Ph.D. in Musicology and become a professor of music at a public institution have not gone unnoticed.
In October, Herman was named an NISTS (National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students) 2022 Transfer Student Ambassador. This honour further showcases his commitment to academic excellence and his ability to make a significant impact in his field.
Herman's accomplishments bring great honour to The Herb Alpert School of Music, the Humanities Division, and UCLA. His success is also a testament to the support he has received from donors such as Elaine Krown Klein, a long-time supporter of the arts at UCLA who provided philanthropy for hundreds of students over three decades.
The Marshall Scholarship, with its focus on service, ambassadorial potential, and the possibility of fostering enduring relationships between peoples, has drawn Herman to this opportunity. He is eager to take on this challenge and make a difference in the academic and cultural spheres.
