May 12, 2003

A Connecticut College student is one of 80 college students in the U.S. to be selected to receive a $5,000 Morris K. Udall Scholarship.

Jennifer Dziubeck, a sophomore majoring in environmental studies and economics, was chosen on the basis of academic merit. In her application, Dziubeck said she hopes to work for a policy think tank and to conduct research related to environmental economics "in order to guide U.S. legislators in formulating policies relating to the environment." She also plans to earn a master's degree in public policy.

Established by Congress in 1992 to honor Congressman Morris King Udall and his legacy of public service, the Morris K. Udall Foundation operates an educational scholarship program designed to provide opportunities for U.S. students with excellent academic records. Scholarships are granted to those who demonstrate a commitment to fields related to the environment and to Native American and Alaska Native students in fields related to health care and tribal public policy.
