plus one honorable mention</p>

<p>Three Yale College juniors, Whitney Patrick Haring-Smith, Caroline Louise Howe and Betsy Rose Scherzer, were among 80 undergraduates nationwide who received Morris K. Udall Scholarships for the pursuit of studies in environment science. Yale sophomore Micah Samuel Ziegler received an honorable mention....</p>

<p>Alright, go Whitney!</p>

<p>yale students, along with cornell students (three also this year), traditionally fare well in this particular scholarship competition.</p>

<p>Haha it's kinda funny how Kansas State is just... there.</p>

<p>I wanna go into environmental science! This is SOO a sign for me to apply to Yale SCEA. Although I've already been decided for like two years... anyway.</p>

<p>Congrats to the Yalies. :)</p>

<p>if you are interested in the environment, I am sure this article will be of some interest as well</p>

<p>Yale's residential college energy consumption fell by 10 percent this academic year, exceeding activists' original goal by 5 percent and doubling the amount of renewable energy that the administration will purchase as a reward for conservation.</p>

<p>The year's 10 percent improvement just satisfies the criteria for the University to purchase renewable energy certificates that will offset two-thirds of the residential colleges' power consumption. Under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy, announced in October, the administration rewards every 5 percent improvement in energy conservation with monetary support for the renewable energy market equivalent to one-third of residential consumption....</p>

<p>Haha when my friend and I started our school's Environmental Club we almost named it STEP.</p>

<p>...Another sign!</p>

<p>Thanks for the article, crimsonbulldog. :)</p>

<p>Oh and I know Yale also does RecycleMania, but the same school wins every single year. I could totally change that...</p>

<p>I wonder why certain schools do so well with the Udall Scholarship and certain others do so poorly.</p>

<p>Yale also did well in the ultra-prestigious Marshall and Rhodes scholarships this year. Yale students received 4 Marshall Scholarships and 3 Rhodes Scholarships. No other Ivy League school received more than 2 Marshalls or more than one Rhodes.</p>
