<\/strong>A student at the 海角直播 has been awarded a prestigious scholarship that will help fund his education as he works toward a career in science and math.<\/p>\n

Christopher Frye, a student in the Burnett Honors College, has been named a 2012 Barry M. Goldwater Scholar.<\/p>\n

Frye is a double-major in Physics and Mathematics. Since Fall 2010 he has performed independent research in theoretical physics under the supervision of Costas Efthimiou, an associate professor of Physics.<\/p>\n

This summer Frye will travel to Switzerland to participate in a Research Experience for Undergraduates at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.<\/p>\n

He hopes to pursue a Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics with a specialization in high-energy theory, conduct research in string theory and eventually teach at the university level.<\/p>\n

The Goldwater Scholarship was established by Congress in 1986 to honor Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, who served the United States for 56\u00a0years as a soldier and statesman. The scholarship awards undergraduate college students who have been nominated by their college or university and who intend to pursue careers in science, math and engineering.<\/p>\n

Each scholarship covers tuition, fees, books and room and board for up to $7,500 annually.<\/p>\n

At UCF, the Office of Prestigious Awards aids students throughout the scholarship application process.
