JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Raul Chavarria is excited to begin his dream of becoming a scientist.
The 24-year-old’s future was practically sealed when he was awarded a prestigious national fellowship that will pay for three years of graduate school.
“It’s a very, very difficult award to win,” explained Frank Smith, Chavarria’s science professor.
Smith has been working with Chavarria and other students, and he will continue to work with Chavarria on his master’s degree.
