TWRI awards Mills Scholarships to graduate students
The Texas Water Resources Institute recently awarded Mills Scholarships to 11 Texas A&M University graduate students and four Texas A&M University–Galveston graduate students for the 2005-06 academic year to pursue water-related research.
TWRI’s Mills Scholars Program, an endowed fund that supports research in water conservation and management, provided the $1,500 scholarships to each student to use for education-related expenses. The scholarship program supports graduate students in diverse water research programs at Texas A&M University and Texas A&M University-Galveston.
Students receiving the scholarships include: Omar Amawi, Scott Beech, Larry R. Demich and Aarin Teague, Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering; Elizabeth Bristow, Department of Civil Engineering; Regan M. Errera and Danielle M. Rutka, Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences; David Hansen, Stephen Lichlyter and Douglas S. Sassen, Department of Geology and Geophysics; and Shelli L. Meyer, Department of Oceanography.
Graduates students from Texas A&M–Galveston are Charlotte Hieke, Joe Mikulas, Kimberly A. Roberts, all of the Department of Marine Geology; and Linda R. Roehrborn, Phytoplankton Dynamics Laboratory.
Mills Cox, a former chairman of the Texas Water Development Board, endowed the Mills Scholarships. For more information on the Mills Scholarship program or to learn more about the projects, visit our Web site at http://twri.tamu.edu/mills.php.
