For the eighth year in a row, a Miami student has been named a Goldwater Scholar, a program supported by the U.S. Congress and in collaboration with the Department of Defense's National Defense Education Program. This year, of the 1223 students from 443 institutions nominated, 496 (40.6%) were named Goldwater Scholars -- including two from Miami: Caleb Kozuszek (bio-chemistry) and Rosamiel (Rosie) Ries (geology and physics).
In addition, Miami has a David L. Boren Scholarship recipient (plus alternate) for the first time since 2014. Funded by the National Security Education Program (NSEP), the Boren Scholarship supports study abroad programs. Max Micheli (international studies and East Asian languages & cultures) and Emily Froude (international studies and political science) were among 851 undergraduates across the U.S. who applied for the program this year.
