Ms. Natalie Craik, a Biomedical Engineering and Plan II Honors undergraduate student, has been honored as one of two winners of the 2009-2010 Larry Temple Scholarship.
Temple Scholars are selected primarily on the basis of superior academic merit. Natalie will receive a $33,000 scholarship over three years. Application for the scholarship is open to any student achieving a 3.9 or 4.0 grade-point average during his or her freshman year.
Per the College of Liberal Arts’ press release on October 1, "Forty-seven students applied for this highly competitive scholarship in 2009," said Dr. Larry Carver, director of the Liberal Arts Honors Program. "Miss Rajan and Miss Craik will join with current Temple Scholars to enjoy an enriched program of supplemental advising and field trips. They also will have special opportunities to interact with faculty and community leaders."
The Temple Scholarship honors Larry Eugene Temple, an Austin lawyer and public servant. Temple graduated with a bachelor's degree from The University of Texas at Austin in 1957, receiving a degree from The University of Texas Law School in 1959. A champion of higher education, Temple was chair of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board as well as chair of the 1985 Select Committee on Higher Education. Temple has been a member of the university's Development Board, its Centennial Commission and the Commission of 125.
