UT Senior Wins Marshall Scholarship

By Eric J. Rostetter (ericr@physics.utexas.edu)

Physics student William Berdanier has been selected as a Marshall Scholar for 2013. William will graduate from UT this spring, and is one of 34 undergraduate students in the United States to be awarded the scholarship, which covers all expenses for at least two years at any university in the United Kingdom.

William plans to earn two Master’s degrees at Cambridge University through the scholarship before returning to the United States to earn his Doctorate in physics.

Founded by a 1953 Act of Parliament, and named in honour of U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall, the Scholarships commemorate the humane ideals of the Marshall Plan and they express the continuing gratitude of the British people to their American counterparts.
