Established by FOX News Media in 2018, the Dr.Charles
Krauthammer Memorial Scholarship awards eligible children of
network employees a monetary stipend per college year for a maximum
of four years. All aspects of the program, including the selection
of winners and the administration of their awards, are conducted
through the National Merit Scholarship Program by the independent,
not-for-profit National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).
To be eligible, U.S. high school juniors planning to enter
college in the fall of 2022 must have taken the PSAT/NMSQT test and
met several academic and other requirements set by the NMSC.
Winners were selected on a competitive basis without regard to
family financial circumstances, gender, race, ethnic origin, or
religious preference. Once chosen, the NMSC disburses the
scholarship directly to the accredited U.S. college/university
following a determination the student has remained in good
standing. Furthermore, the scholarship belongs to the student and
is not affected should their parent leave the company following the
communication of the award.
Dr. Charles Krauthammer served as a contributor to FOX News
Media from 2002 up until his death in 2018 and was renowned for his

signature programming. Throughout his tenure with the network, he
made frequent appearances on Special Report with Bret Baier and FOX
News Sunday. A Pulitzer prize-winning syndicated journalist and
physician, Dr. Krauthammer joined The Washington Post in 1984,
where he continued to write a weekly syndicated column until his
passing and served as a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard.
He began his journalism career at The New Republic and prior to

1980 and as chief resident in psychiatry at the Massachusetts
General Hospital.

including the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, the 2013 William

Award for Essays and Criticisms, and the first annual Bradley
Prize. He also authored the best-selling book, “Things That Matter:
