Five Nichols Scholarships Awarded to Outstanding Undergraduates
This is the fourth year now that we have been able to offer scholarships to our undergraduates through the generosity of Classics alumna Ann Nichols. In contrast with previous years, however, we chose to offer five scholarships to current students staying at CU, one to an incoming freshman, and none for study abroad.
This distribution does not reflect negatively on our applicants' qualifications to study abroad; on the contrary, it was precisely because of the extremely high quality of the pool this year that we chose to distribute awards more evenly. To give just one measure of this quality, the average GPA for our thirteen applicants was 3.76! In view of this tremendous depth, we decided to support a higher number of our students with somewhat smaller awards rather than commiting so much money to a single student for study abroad.
This year's winners were Ted Broberg, who will be a junior next year, Aaron Kessler, who will be a senior, Megan Lillie, who will be a junior, Michelle Soufl, who will be a senior, and Jesse Vader, who will be a sophomore. Each winner will receive $3958 toward tuition and fees. As the winner of our Ann Nichols Fellowship for outstanding new students, Patrick Ferguson will also receive the same amount. Patrick will join us from Regis High School in Denver where he has studied three years of Latin under the direction of CU alumnus Jim Broderick-King and has for years cultivated an interest in the ancient world.
We, the members of the Classics department, extend our warmest congratulations to these students and our deepest thanks to Ann Nichols for enabling us to reward our fine students so handsomely through her generosity.
