UW-Green Bay Natural and Applied Sciences awards nearly $16K in scholarships
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay honored some of its top science and math scholars Friday, Feb. 7, presenting Natural and Applied Sciences scholarships worth nearly $16,000 to 15 students during an afternoon reception.
Surrounded by parents, faculty members and donors, students were recognized for top-notch grades, outstanding scholarship, innovative research and overall academic excellence. NAS presented the first-ever Brown County Waste Transformation Team Scholarship, a $1,350 award given to UW-Green Bay senior Evan VanLanen.
“Every one of our scholarship recipients is a complete student,” said UW-Green Bay Associate Prof. Steve Meyer, an NAS faculty member and chair of the Scholarship Committee. “They’re great representatives of UW-Green Bay and they’ll be great representatives of UW-Green Bay when they leave us.”
Donors Carol DeGroot, Mike and Gloria Morgan, Elizabeth Nair and Rod Truttman (representing the Moose Lodge Rod & Gun Club) attended the presentation, applauding as their scholarship recipients were recognized. Meyer read a biographical statement on each recipient, noting his or her impressive academic credentials and University and community involvement.
