Three USC undergraduates have been awarded 2003 Morris K. Udall Scholarships, a record number for the University.
Holly Tyler, Marie Bergen, and Paula Randler are among some 80 Udall Scholarship awardees from across the country who will receive up to $5,000 for tuition, fees, books, and room and board for one year. Udall Scholarships were established by the U.S. Congress to encourage responsible use and enjoyment of natural resources and to educate American Indians and Alaska Natives in health care and tribal public policy.
Tyler, a junior exercise science major from Laurinberg, N.C., was re-awarded the Udall Scholarship for a second year. A Lumbee Indian tribe member, she plans to attend the Wake Forest University School of Medicine following graduation in May 2004. Tyler is president of USC’s Multicultural Health Council.
Bergen, a political science and French major from Spartanburg, is vice president of SAGE—Students Allied for a Greener Earth. She has worked for Greenpeace USA on their Clean Energy Now! campaign.
Randler, a geology and environmental studies major from Beaufort, plans to attend graduate school and work in environmental outreach, justice, policy, or law. She is using an Honors College Undergraduate Research Fellowship to coordinate environmental outreach and awareness programs in Beaufort County.
