Having near-perfect grades and an impressive cadre of coursework and research helped Daniel Lecoanet win the prestigious Churchill Scholarship last week. The award is given out to only 14 students across the country each year. The first UW-Madison student to win it in 30 years, Lecoanet will spend the 2010-2011 academic year studying mathematics at the University of Cambridge, with expenses up to $50,000 paid.
