<p>Four Yale undergraduates and one student from the Graduate School are among the 32 students around the country to receive Rhodes scholarships this year. </p>

<p>The five Elis - Avi Feller '07, Whitney Haring-Smith '07, Aaron Mertz GRD '13, Maya Shankar '07 and Amia Srinivasan '07 - were selected from 896 applicants endorsed by 340 colleges and universities across the nation. Yale had the second-highest number of winners, behind Harvard University, which had six recipients. The scholarship funds all expenses for two or three years of advanced study at the University of Oxford in England. </p>

<p>Yale College Dean Peter Salovey said he is delighted by the number of scholarships awarded to University students this year.</p>
