The following attributes were considered during the competitive selection process:
* A deep commitment to the pursuit of advanced scholarship.
* Evidence of productive and imaginative scholarly work.
* Early signs of purpose and direction in academic work.
* Novelty, richness and a willingness to take risks in the pursuit of large ideas.
* Personal qualities of self-awareness, teachability and the need to grow.
* Evidence of resilience and persistence in the face of setbacks.
* A willingness to benefit from and contribute to a community of scholars.
