<p>Two Princeton University seniors have won prestigious scholarships to Cambridge University for showing great promise in research.</p>
<p>Anand Oza and Aaron Pixton will be Churchill Scholars, an honor bestowed annually upon about 13 students nationally by the Winston Churchill Foundation of New York City.</p>
<p>"The fact that two of the 13 Churchill Scholarships this year were awarded to Princeton students is nothing short of remarkable," said Peter Bogucki, associate dean for undergraduate affairs in the School of Engineering and Applied Science and chair of the University's Churchill Nomination Committee. </p>
<p>"Both students, he said, have outstanding academic records and have earned significant achievements in research and scholarship. They also possess compelling plans for what they want to achieve while at Cambridge, he added.</p>
<p>"The foundation, established in 1959, offers American students of exceptional ability and outstanding achievement the opportunity to pursue graduate studies in engineering, mathematics or the sciences. The scholars study at Churchill College, one of the newer colleges at Cambridge, built in tribute to the noted statesman, orator and strategist. The scholarship pays for a year of tuition, fees and living expenses.</p>
