Scholarship to Cambridge
Mr Michael Steel, a masters student at the University of Canterbury, has won a scholarship which is awarded to only nine persons throughout the Commonwealth each year.
The scholarship is funded by profits from the 1851 Exhibition in London, and is awarded for research in pure or applied science. Mr Steel, aged 22, will use the scholarship to undertake doctoral studies in topology, a branch of mathematics, at the Cambridge University later this year. He completed an honours degree in mathematics at the University of Canterbury last year, and this year has undertaken an M.Sc. degree in pure mathematics. His secondary education was at St Thomas’s College.
