Angier B. Duke Merit Scholarship

Angier B. Duke Merit Scholarship

I am extremely honored to have been chosen to receive the Angier B. Duke Merit Scholarship from Duke University! This will allow me to go to Duke and pursue a double major in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science without incurring any debt. Along with the full tuition coverage, I will have funding to pursue private research and bond with a close knit group of other present and past scholars throughout my duke years and beyond. Needless to say I'm very excited!

Regional Science Fair Results

Regional Science Fair Results

On Friday and Saturday (Feb 25 & 26) I competed in the exciting Twin Cities Regional Science Fair! While I had to stand by my booth for 5 hours on Friday, I got to meet some nice fellow students and talk to a lot of judges (I’m guessing 14 adults total). On Saturday I was overjoyed by the award results which are listed here: Gavin Ovsak, Eden Prairie High School, The Creation and Testing of a Fully Submersible Geared Water Turbine for Alternative Energy Production ·         ISEF
