The Society of Physics Students (SPS) has awarded 26 scholarships to undergraduate physics majors for the 2008-09 academic year. The three top awardees receiving $3,000 SPS Outstanding Leadership Scholarships are Ann Deml, University of Wisconsin-River Falls, River Falls, WI; Jodie Tvedtnes, Utah State University, Logan, UT; and Tamela Maciel, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR. Twenty-three $2,000 awards were also given in a variety of categories. The SPS Scholarship program exists to encourage the study of physics and the pursuit of high scholarship. SPS derives most of its support from the American Institute of Physics (AIP). SPS awards and scholarship programs are made possible, in part, through the generous contributions of Sigma Pi Sigma members and friends.
