4 Georgia Tech athletes earn ACC postgraduate scholarship award
Four Georgia Tech athletes have been honored as recipients of the ACC’s Weaver-James-Corrigan Postgraduate Scholarship Award. Hugh Chapman and Luke Waddell (baseball), Kierra Fletcher (women’s basketball) and Catriona MacGregor (women’s swimming and diving) were named as Tech’s honorees Wednesday.
The awards are given to athletes who intend to pursue a graduate degree and have performed with distinction athletically and academically and also made contributions to the community. The honor comes with a $6,000 award for their graduate educations.
Waddell was named an honorary recipient as he intends to pursue a professional baseball career at the conclusion of his Tech career. Waddell and Chapman are both business administration majors. Fletcher is studying history, technology and society and MacGregor is earning her degree in mechanical engineering.
