This year 317 scholarships were awarded nationally. Scholars are nominated by faculty and selected on the basis of academic merit. The awards cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, and room and board up to a maximum of $7,500 per year. A sophomore, Pavan is majoring in computer science and biochemistry. He first became interested in research through the Space Grant Summer Undergraduate Research Program and plans to enter an M.D./Ph.D. program in biochemistry. Space Grant scholar Sam Burden, a junior majoring in electrical engineering, received honorable mention. March 28, 2007
