UI Undergrads Receive Scholarships

Wed., April 21, 1999

Three local University of Idaho undergraduate students have been selected to receive $500 scholarships from the UI Parents Association. The students were selected from 40 applicants and eight finalists based on high accomplishment in academics, community service and campus activities.

Recipients are listed by their hometown.

Moscow: Tara Richards Limburg, a senior in sport science and daughter of Charles and Brenda Richards of Moscow; and Nathan Schroeder, a junior in biochemistry and son of Douglas and Maurene Schroeder of Moscow.

Rathdrum: Derek Dickinson, a senior in secondary education and social sciences and son of David and Linda Dickinson of Rathdrum.

North Idaho students recently participated in the state Odyssey of the Mind competition held in Moscow earlier this month. The Odyssey program promotes creative thinking and problem solving and is an extracurricular volunteer activity which requires participants to devote hours of time and involvement on top of their regular school curriculum.
