蒙田奖学金

The scholarship events are free to enter and open to any prospective student interested in attending 中北书院 as a major in the 谢默伟大的书籍学校, including students transferring from other 2-year and 4-year programs.

Successful participants will receive the Montaigne Scholarship of up to $5,000 annually in addition to their current academic scholarship. Scholarships are renewable at the same dollar amounts and do not increase in subsequent years.

蒙田奖学金 is not a competition between participants. All awards are based solely on the quality of a participant's response essay and their participation in the discussion. No other aspects of participants’ academic records or other aspects of their application to the Shimer School will be taken into account when determining awards.

Only students enrolled in one of the four majors offered by the 谢默伟大的书籍学校 are eligible to receive the Montaigne Scholarship. 请参阅 立博在线体育课程的这一页 了解更多有关施默学院专业的信息.

苏菲Juhlin

"The Montaigne scholarship served a dual purpose for me—it was a crash course in the mechanics of a Shimer discussion, and a chance to get to know my future classmates in their natural habitat. It was really on the day of Montaigne that I fell in love with Shimer. It’s such an invigorating challenge to describe and defend your interpretation of a text. 就像任何好的Shimer讨论一样, 你的理解介于你自己之间, 你读了什么, 和你一起分享的人."

参加奖学金活动

Montaigne Scholarship Events are opportunities for prospective students to meet each other, 讨论一些重要的想法, and get a sense of the kind of intellectual and social journey that awaits them in the Shimer School. Participants in the Montaigne Scholarship who cannot attend on the scheduled Event days can request to be interviewed by a Shimer School faculty member instead.

All those wishing to participate in a Montaigne Event in preparation for enrolling in the Shimer School for Fall 2024 should contact 苏菲Juhlin at sdjuhlin@noctrl.edu.

蒙田是谁?

Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533–1592) was a French diplomat and civil official in the region of Bordeaux, 法国. Montaigne is widely credited with the invention of the modern personal “essay,” which term he gave to the written “attempts” (essais in French) he made later in his life to understand both his world and himself as honestly and unflinchingly as he could. Between 1571 and 1587 Montaigne published three books of essays on topics as various as drunkenness, 同类相食, 虚荣, 友谊与衰老. 蒙田游历甚广, both as a diplomat during the height of 法国’s bloody wars of religion as well as in search of cures for physical ailments that followed him through life. He was elected Mayor of Bordeaux twice and led the city through an outbreak of plague late in his term. His essays thus often portray a dim tableau of human existence, but are marked above all by his abiding skepticism and the openness of mind characterized by his personal motto “Que sçay-je?或者“我知道什么??”
