UChicago-MBL Undergraduate Scholarship is Awarded to Daniel Morrison

Daniel G. Morrison, a graduate of Falmouth High School, is the first recipient of the UChicago-MBL Scholarship for undergraduate study. Daniel received a full-tuition scholarship to UChicago and enrolled in September as a first-year student.

Daniel is the son of Hilary Morrison, senior research scientist in the Bay Paul Center. Children of year-round MBL employees (minimum 20 hours/week) who are accepted to the University of Chicago are eligible for consideration for this scholarship.

Daniel reports that “UChicago has been great so far; it’s a very challenging experience but also extremely rewarding.” He is considering majoring in either math or computer science. “Outside of class, I’m really enjoying singing in the Rockefeller Chapel Choir,” he says. “We’ll be performing Handel’s Messiah before winter break starts.”

The deadline to apply to the University of Chicago for the 2016-2017 academic year is January 1 (regular decision candidates).
