The Award

Lauren was one of only 40 high-achieving students nationwide – and one of only two from Texas universities – to receive the Marshall Scholarship. She is Baylor’s sixth Marshall Scholar and third since 2015. She will begin graduate studies in the United Kingdom, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the scholarship. Lauren was also selected for a Fulbright ETA to Kosovo.

At Baylor

Lauren earned her BA in University Scholars with concentrations in political science, economics, and international studies. She was a highly decorated member of Baylor's Model UN team and was one of 20 students to win the 2021 Hamilton National Fellowship for the Alexander Hamilton Society. An accomplished debater, Jarvis has independently coached six debate teams with striking results at regional and national tournaments. In 2020, as the pandemic shifted how people engage with one another, Jarvis launched SpeechMakers, a debate resource preparation platform for high school debaters.
