Pitt Honors College senior Clayton Magill, an Arts and Sciences (A&S) student majoring in chemistry and geology with a minor in German, has been named a Churchill Scholar by the Winston Churchill Foundation for his exceptional ability and outstanding academic achievement.
This is the first year the University was invited to participate in the Churchill Scholarship competition; invited schools may nominate up to two candidates.
Magill, Pitt’s only nominee, was one of 11 U.S. students and the only one from a Pennsylvania university selected for the award by the screening committee, comprising former Churchill Scholars from academia and industry.
