Second Annual National Scholarship Ceremony honors \u2018intellectual Olympians\u2019 whose playing field is the life of the mind<\/h4>\n

Eight top UND students and former students were honored in UND’s Second Annual National Scholarship Celebration on Dec. 2. UND image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For UND senior Ashly Hanna, two-time Udall Scholarship winner, the word she chose was \u201cdiscipline.\u201d \u201cI disciplined myself to help others, without knowing that down the road, I\u2019d be rewarded with this Udall Scholarship, as well as with getting to know all the people I\u2019ve been able to meet,\u201d Hanna said at the awards ceremony.<\/p>\n

Vincent Ledvina, a UND junior, summed up his climb toward a Department of Defense scholarship and internship with the word, \u201csupport\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout my academic journey, even back to middle and high school, I always had support from my parents, teachers and friends to pursue what I was most passionate about,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think having a good support network is really vital for someone’s success.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in seeking the word that best explained his becoming a scholarship finalist at Yenching Academy in China, UND graduate Marshall Nunberg chose \u201cpatience.\u201d \u201cThis is the fifth year that I\u2019ve applied for international and national scholarships, and it was only last year that I was offered an interview at one of them,\u201d he said. \u201cTurns out that what\u2019s required more than anything, is patience.\u201d<\/p>\n

At UND\u2019s Second Annual National Scholarship Ceremony on Wednesday, these three and others among UND\u2019s highest-achieving students were saluted for embodying the traits above, and much more.<\/p>\n

The ceremony, which honored eight students, was held via Zoom and drew about 100 family members, faculty mentors and friends of the honorees.<\/p>\n

Medalists all<\/h4>\n

National and international scholarship competitions are the intellectual equivalent of the Olympics, said Yee Han Chu, UND\u2019s academic support and fellowship opportunities coordinator and the organizer of the ceremony, in her introductory remarks.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the level these students are competing at. \u201cThese are very competitive scholarships and fellowships, and many of these students began preparing for these intellectual opportunities long before the students even came into my office,\u201d Chu said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we just want to make sure that good work is brought to light,\u201d she said. Because thanks to the students\u2019 spirit, support networks and outstanding work ethic, \u201cthey have all \u2019medaled.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

UND President Andy Armacost agreed. \u201cExcellence is a journey, and academic excellence is a journey as well,\u201d said Armacost, who spoke at the Zoom ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo keep on that journey, and turn it into a commitment to lifelong learning. I think that will continue to transform you into the leaders that our society really needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Debbie Storrs, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs, congratulated the students as well and also thanked Chu. \u201cShe\u2019s the magic that makes this all possible,\u201d Storrs said. Thanks to Chu\u2019s efforts, UND students not only are much more aware of prestigious scholarship and fellowship opportunities, but also can get advice on assembling competitive applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cImportantly, she\u2019s even connecting with our K-12 community to get to students when they\u2019re in high school, because as all of you know, this kind of accomplishment doesn\u2019t happen overnight,\u201d Storrs said.<\/p>\n

In briefing the students ahead of the ceremony, Chu had advised them to each choose one word that best described their experience in applying for scholarships. And after each student told his or her story, Chu came back on to thank and congratulate them again, the occasional break in her voice testifying to her long working relationships with the students.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry, I checked out for a moment,\u201d Chu said at one point.<\/p>\n

\u201cI needed to get some tissues, but I\u2019m back on track now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each person saluted in this year’s National Scholarship Ceremony will be further recognized in the Hall of Honorees, a new feature in Columbia Hall. Shown here are the 2018-2019 honorees; plaques for this year’s honorees will be added in the spring. UND photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Perseverance, dedication and hope<\/h4>\n

Nathan Moe, a UND junior and a semifinalist for a Science, Mathematics, And Research For Transformation (SMART) Scholarship from the Department of Defense, chose two words for his talk: \u201cperseverance\u201d and \u201cdedication.\u201d \u201cAs in life, when applying for these opportunities, it takes a lot of perseverance to keep going,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes a lot of dedication to stay on that track and see it through. \u2026 The SMART Scholarship in particular required me to go through stuff I\u2019ve done in college, but also all the way back to the beginning of high school.\u201d So, high school students, a word to the wise: keep track of your accomplishments and your coaches along the way, because one of these days, you may need to recall all of them, Moe said.<\/p>\n

Like the other honorees, Merrick McMahon, a UND junior, Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa member and 2020 Cobell Scholarship winner, gave great credit to his faculty and staff mentors at UND. That\u2019s why McMahon chose \u201chope\u201d as his key word.<\/p>\n

McMahon\u2019s mentor is Keith Malaterre, a UND retention and advising specialist. And \u201cbefore I met Keith my freshman year, I was rather scared,\u201d McMahon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy classes intimidated me, and I felt as if I had no direction. I was terrified. \u2026 Keith helped me get on track in the direction of what I want to do in life; and most of all, Keith gave me hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cHope is how I achieved these honors, and hope is how I\u2019m going to achieve my future goals,\u201d McMahon concluded.<\/p>\n

To deliver the ceremony\u2019s closing remarks, Chu sought out Michelle Nguyen, an honoree at last year\u2019s ceremony and one of UND\u2019s most prolific winners of national scholarship awards. But Nguyen had an interesting word of her own to offer to this year\u2019s students: \u201cfailure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause you can put in all of your hard work, you can work for something for so long, and still get rejected,\u201d Nguyen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re at nine national and international scholarships that I\u2019ve applied for,\u201d which means nine essays, nine sets of recommendations, nine lengthy application forms and so on.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019ve been rejected from the majority of them.\u201d But the key to success in this and similar endeavors is to keep trying, keep applying, and keep getting back on your feet, Nguyen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a failure to rejected. It\u2019s a redirection, if you keep going, you\u2019ll find something better, something greater and something that\u2019s a better fit for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
