Physics undergraduate awarded prestigious US-university scholarship
Michael Lindon, currently on the 4yr M.Phys. Physics course in our department, has just won the James B Duke Fellowship of Duke University in North Carolina, USA. Duke is among the top 10 universities in the US and ranked 19th world-wide. These fellowships are awarded to a small number of students applying to (all) Duke PhD programs following a campus-wide competition. Winning the award is a distinction and an honor; the award recognises a student's academic achievement to date and reflects Duke University's view of their scholarly and research promise for PhD studies at Duke. The Fellowship carries a substantial stipend supplement per year for each of the first 4 years -- in addition to the financial PhD support at Duke. Well done Michael and all the best for your future PhD work at Duke University next academic year!
