University of Connecticut rising senior Sage Phillips ’22 (CLAS), a political science and human rights major, has been named a recipient of a prestigious national scholarship for the second time in less than a month.
Phillips has been selected as a 2021 Udall Scholar, which is awarded on the basis of commitment to careers in the environment, Tribal public policy or Native health care; leadership potential; record of public service; and academic achievement.
She is just one of 55 students nationally to earn this distinction. Each scholarship provides up to $7,000 for the scholar.
