Aaron Fluitt, Corey Georgesen and Robert Woodward, UNL undergraduate students, have been awarded Barry M. Goldwater Scholarships for 2008-09 from the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation.
The Goldwater Scholars were selected on the basis of academic merit from a field of 1,035 mathematics, science, and engineering students who were nominated by the faculties of colleges and universities nationwide. 189 of the Scholars are men, 132 are women, and virtually all intend to obtain a Ph.D. as their degree objective. Thirty-three Scholars are mathematics majors, 227 are science and related majors, 52 are majoring in engineering, and nine are computer science majors. Many of the Scholars have dual majors in a variety of mathematics, science, engineering and computer disciplines. The one and two-year scholarships cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, and room and board up to a maximum of $7,500 per year. Goldwater Scholars have academic qualifications that have garnered the attention of prestigious post-graduate fellowship programs. The scholarships are awarded to undergraduate sophomores and juniors from the United States.
Fluitt is a sophomore from Lincoln and a graduate of Lincoln East High School. He majors in chemical engineering, working with Dr. Hendrik Viljoen in Chemical Engineering and will pursue a research career.
