Four exceptional Emory students have won the nation’s top scholarship for undergraduates studying math, natural sciences and engineering, after having to conduct much of their research remotely, in unfamiliar facilities or in unfamiliar ways due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Emory College juniors Ilakkia Anabayan, Greg Kimmerer and Anna Voss and Oxford College sophomore Jerry Tang are among the 410 Goldwater Scholars selected from 1,256 nominees from universities across the United States.
It is the third consecutive year that Emory has four recipients of the prestigious award. Counting this year’s winners, 42 Emory students have received the honor since it was established by Congress to honor the work of U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater.
