Physics Today

The Society of Physics Students (SPS) has awarded 20 Leadership Scholarships to undergraduate physics majors for the 2009-10 academic year. The five top awardees receiving $3,000 SPS Outstanding Leadership Scholarships are Maria Drout, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA; Logan Hancock, Angelo State University, San Angelo, TX; Michael Jokubaitis, Drew University, Madison, NJ; Tyler McCleery, University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS; and Jenna Smith, Rhodes College, Memphis, TN. Fifteen $2,000 awards were also given in a variety of categories. The purpose of the SPS Scholarship program is 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.
