University Liggett School awards Thelma Fox Murray scholarships

Five University Liggett School students have been honored with the Thelma Fox Murray Scholarship for the 2024-25 academic year.  

This year’s recipients are: Elizabeth Dickey ‘25 of Grosse Pointe Woods, Lydia Fedewa Widick ‘25 of Detroit, Isabel Jenkins ‘25 of Harper Woods, Kerith Short ‘25 of Grosse Pointe Woods and Fiona Sierens ‘25 of Clinton Township.  

Shernaz Minwalla, Head of Upper School, said all five student-athletes exemplify the principles Fox Murray valued. 

The Thelma Fox Murray Scholarship is awarded each year to students who display integrity, humility, sense of humor, athletic achievement, academic excellence and leadership qualities. Fox Murray, a 1917 Liggett School alumna, left a lasting personal commitment to education in her endowment gift to University Liggett School upon her death in 1987. 

Since that time, the scholarship has been awarded each year to deserving students at the school. The ULS scholarship committee and scholarship trustee S. Gary Spicer Sr. selects the students.
