Title
1992: Patricia Cornwell Creative Writing Scholarship
Description
In 1992, Patricia Cornwell ‘79 — at this point a best-selling author — begins funding a generous four year scholarship for creative writers, awarded annually to one student in the first-year class. As Tony Abbott notes in 1997, this scholarship “[makes] a statement that [Davidson is] interested in writing and good writers.” Since 1992, nearly a third of the recipients of the Cornwell Scholarship have written creative theses.
