Atmospheric sciences student receives prestigious scholarship

Stephanie Mullins, a University of Louisiana at Monroe atmospheric sciences sophomore, recently received a distinguished two-year Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

โ€œIt is indeed an impressive achievement for her, as fewer than 100 such scholarships are awarded each year within the U.S.,โ€ said Dr. Michael Camille, associate professor of geography and department head of geosciences.

The scholarship provides for $8,000 of academic assistance each year during the junior and senior years and a 10-week paid summer internship at NOAA. The Hollings scholarship program is designed to increase undergraduate training in atmospheric science; prepare students for public service careers with the NOAA and other natural resource and science governmental agencies; and prepare students for careers as teachers in oceanic and atmospheric science and to improve scientific and environmental education in the United States.
