Goldwater Scholarship winners

Three Franklin College students are UGA's 2015 Goldwater Scholarship recipients:

Lauren Dennison, Erin Hollanderand Karishma Sriram—have received 2015 Barry M. Goldwater Scholarships, the premier undergraduate scholarship in the fields of mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering.

The UGA students are among a group of 260 recipients of the one- and two-year scholarships that recognize exceptional sophomores and juniors. The scholarships will cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, and room and board up to a maximum of $7,500 per year.

UGA students have received the Goldwater Scholarship nearly every year for the past 20 years, and the 2015 recipients bring the university's total of Goldwater Scholars to 49.

Fantastic achievements, and on the heels of yesterday's announcement of a record number of NSF Graduate Research Fellowships (14 of the 16 from the Franklin College), our students continue to acquit themselves and UGA in sparkling fashion. So much work and dedication is required to excel at this level, in these prized award designations that, no matter how often they win we must never tire of celebrating these students. What they have done is only to be overshadowed by the future accomplishments previewed by these accolades. Well done and congratulations.
