During the 2005-2006 academic year, the Office of Nationally Competitive Awards and various other campus departments aided 88 students through the process of applying for nationally competitive awards, nearly 30% more applicants than last year. At this time, 36 of these applicants have been named award recipients. ONCA is extremely pleased to congratulate the many talented students taking part in this process and is thankful for the extraordinary efforts of faculty members for making this possible.
