LEXINGTON, Va.
Star student and athlete Michael Lokale says his life has been filled with many blessings. And now, as the Virginia Military Institute’s 10th Rhodes Scholar, the first classman is looking forward to yet another.
As one of only two Kenyans selected from a pool of more than 250 applicants for the prestigious Rhodes award, the scholarship will allow him to pursue graduate work in a college of the University of Oxford beginning next fall.
