ROSEMONT, Ill. – Indiana University swimmer Curtis Goss was awarded one of the Big Ten's annual postgraduate scholarships on Thursday, the league announced.
Two students competing in intercollegiate athletics from each of the 14 Big Ten institutions who plan to continue their education at a graduate degree program were each awarded a $7,500 scholarship, based on primarily academic achievements.
"Our team, staff and athletic department are so very proud of Curtis", IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said. "This award personifies our belief in combining elite level academics and swimming at the highest levels. Curtis is the perfect illustration of all the qualities we believe in as a program. Integrity, honor, loyalty, grit and a team first mentality can all be seen with Curtis on a daily basis."
During his career at Indiana, Goss was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, winning the Scholastic Achievement Award and IU Sportsmanship Award in 2015.
Each Big Ten institution developed its own on-campus selection process when awarding the scholarship. Students must have maintained at least a 3.2 grade-point-average, demonstrated leadership qualities, served as an excellent role model and intended to continue their academic work beyond their baccalaureate degree at a graduate degree program.
The scholarship will be used to pay expenses of the student's postgraduate education to include such related activities as research and teaching, as well as other expenses such as tuition, fees, room and board, required course-related supplies and books. In order to retain the scholarship, the recipient must be accepted into a full-time graduate degree program within three years from the fall semester after selection.
