KU’s three nominees are:

• Christopher Winters Martin, a senior from Dodge City and Geneva, Ala., who is majoring in architectural engineering. He is competing for a Marshall scholarship.

• Rachelle Briana Netzer, a spring 2010 graduate in political science from Lawrence. She is competing for a Rhodes scholarship.

• Chantz Palmer Thomas, a senior majoring in microbiology and history from Lindsborg. He is competing for both scholarships.

Scholarship winners will be selected following finalist interviews in November.
