Congratulations to Math majors Nitya Mani and Nina Zubrilina who have been awarded the 2018 Goldwater scholarship, which is designed to foster and encourage outstanding students to pursue careers in the fields of mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering. The 2018 Goldwater Scholars were selected based on academic merit from a field of 1,280 natural sciences, mathematics, and engineering students nominated by the campus representatives from over 2,000 colleges and universities nationwide.

Stanford senior Anna Thomas, a mathematics major (and computer science minor), has been awarded a Churchill Scholarship. The Churchill Scholarship provides funding to American students for one year of master’s study in science, mathematics and engineering at the University of Cambridge in England. Anna Thomas is one of the 15 students from across the United States that were awarded the Churchill Scholarship this year.
