Senior wins Phi Kappa Phi fellowship
Andrews, an environmental science major, received $2,000 to pursue his masters and doctoral degrees in civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Davis, next year. He said he plans to use his postgraduate degrees to work on environmental problems in water pollution. I have worked hard over the last four years, but I enjoy many of my classes so it doesnt always feel like hard work, Andrews said. I greatly appreciate the monetary award, which will go a long way towards deferring the cost of graduate school and relocation to California. Phi Kappa Phi is the oldest national honor society dedicated to the recognition and promotion of academic excellence. The organization annually awards $380,000 in fellowships for first-year graduate study. Fellowship selection is based on undergraduate academic performance, leadership, evidence of potential success in graduate study, personal statement of educational perspective, purpose and objectives and three letters of recommendation.
