Whitefield Academy graduate Noah Boswell ('12) was one of 16 high school seniors recently recognized as 2012 Promising Scholars by the University of Georgia Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO). Noah plans to attend UGA in the fall as a CURO Honors Scholar.
The CURO Honors Scholars program seeks to enrich the academic experience of undergraduate students by engaging them in mentor-guided research in order to gain insight into fields and disciplines that interest them. Recipients of this scholarship can conduct research in any discipline at UGA, including (but not limited to) physical, biological, and social sciences; business; international affairs; engineering; humanities; and the arts.
As part of the program, Noah attended a two-day symposium where more than 190 undergraduates already in the program presented their research projects produced under the guidance of faculty mentors.
"I was excited to be named a CURO Promising Scholar because it is a unique program for undergraduates, and I am interested in being able to do research in the fields of business and economics," said Noah. "During my visit on campus, I was impressed with the personal attention the Honors Program gives to the scholars and the encouragement and help they provide."
