Twenty-four Auburn University graduate students have been selected as winners of three of the Graduate School’s annual awards.
Twenty students have been selected as the 2014-15 Outstanding Graduate Student Award honorees, while four doctoral students have been selected for the Merriwether Fellowship. From the Outstanding Graduate Student honorees at the doctoral level, Aubrey Beal was also chosen as the Graduate School’s President’s Award winner.
The Merriwether Fellowship is awarded to doctoral students who show great promise in their academic fields. First awarded in 1971, the fellowship provides a $2,000 stipend and is the result of an anonymous donation in honor of Harry Merriwether, a 1943 Auburn graduate. The Outstanding Graduate Student Awards recognize Auburn’s most distinguished graduate students. Ten students are chosen at the master’s/educational specialist level, and 10 more are chosen at the doctoral level.
Departments nominate students for the awards, and the winners are then chosen by a committee of graduate faculty.
The students will be recognized with other award winners at the Graduate School’s annual awards ceremony on Thursday, April 23, in the Student Center Ballroom.
Award winners and their areas of study are listed below.
