UF announces 10th Gates Cambridge Scholar

UF’s Student Success and the Office of Prestigious Awards announced the University of Florida’s 10th recipient of the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, Maddie Ross.

The Gates Cambridge Scholarship was established in 2000 with a “mission is to build a global network of future leaders committed to improving the lives of others. It aims to achieve this mission by selecting outstanding scholars, providing them with financial and non-financial support…and facilitating community building at and beyond Cambridge.”

Ross is a biochemistry student in the College of Liberal Arts and at the University of Cambridge, she will pursue a Ph.D. in chemistry, continuing her dream of helping medical patients at the molecular level. Ross is the first Gates Cambridge Scholar at UF since 2017.
