A Rowan University sophomore, Kathryn “Katie” Driscoll of Durango, has been named a Goldwater Scholar, one of the most prestigious honors given to undergraduates in the STEM fields.
Driscoll is only the fifth Rowan student ever selected by the federally endowed scholarship program, and the third winner since 2017 from Rowan’s Biomedical Engineering Department and the Bantivoglio Honors Concentration. Goldwater Scholars receive up to $7,500 a year to help cover tuition, mandatory fees, books, room and board.
The award was welcome news for Driscoll, displaced from the Glassboro campus by the coronavirus pandemic and now studying remotely from her home in Durango.
