Springer, who graduated Summa Cum Laude from Hunter College in 2023 received her B.A. in Africana, Puerto Rican, and Latino Studies, as well as a certificate in arts management. As an undergraduate, she researched jazz and the politics of respectability through a Mellon Public Humanities fellowship, combining her interests in music and academia.
Named for Secretary of State George C. Marshall, the Marshall Scholarship Program began in 1953 as a gesture of gratitude to the people of the United States for the assistance that the UK received after World War II under the Marshall Plan. Since that time, it has remained uniquely positioned among national scholarships for its prestige and scope: offering talented young Americans the chance to study any academic subject at UK universities of their choice for up to three years. This has given rise to an unprecedented breadth of expertise in almost every academic field, producing numerous university presidents, six Pulitzer Prize winners, one Nobel Laureate, fourteen MacArthur Fellows, two-academy-Award nominees, two US Supreme Court Justices and a NASA Astronaut.
