Hank Herzfeld, a senior Honors College Bodenhamer Fellow majoring in history and political science at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, was recently named a Rhodes Scholarship finalist.
Originally from Benton, Herzfeld has been recognized with numerous honors on campus including the Department of Political Science’s Kurt K. Tweraser Award and the Russell E. Bearden History Scholarship.
Herzfeld founded and now serves as the program administrator of the College Access Initiative’s Arkansas Mentorship Program targeting the college access needs of Central Arkansas through remote near-peer mentorships. He was also the founding president of the university’s Quiz Bowl Club, served as the logistics chair of the Distinguished Lectures Committee, and is currently serving as a member of ASG’s Razorback Action Group.
Herzfeld is the treasurer of the Habitat for Humanity Campus Chapter, and a member of the U of A’s Model United Nations. He is the University of Arkansas’ 2024-25 McClarty Presidential Fellow with the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress and will be doing research on state-federal administrative relationships for the disbursement of benefits like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
If selected for the Rhodes Scholarship, Herzfeld plans to pursue a Master of Public Policy and Master of Science in Policy at Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government. He plans to use this opportunity to learn at Oxford’s policy center to then bring his policy expertise back home to Central Arkansas, where Herzfeld aspires to a career steering statewide policy and politics.
“I have poured myself into my application for the Rhodes Scholarship, so I am thrilled to move on to the next stage,” Herzfeld said. “I have many people to thank for this opportunity — family, professors, my recommenders, and the offices and departments that have tirelessly supported me.”
Isaac Hampton, a 2022 graduate of the Sam M. Walton College of Business with a Bachelor of Science in International Business and a minor in Mandarin was named a finalist for the Schwarzman Scholarship.
Finalists for these awards are selected from thousands of applicants each year. The Rhodes Scholarship provides for up to three years of study at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, while the Schwarzman Scholarship provides a year of graduate study at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.
“Congratulations to these students, to their colleges, and to their mentors,” said Terry Martin, provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs. “To be selected at this level is a significant honor and represents years of preparation and support. We are proud of their many accomplishments and are looking forward to following their stellar careers unfold, no matter what the outcome of these competitions.”
