Doctoral student is only P.E.O. Scholar in Florida

A Florida State University doctoral student is the only recipient in the state of Florida to have been awarded the prestigious P.E.O. Scholar Award.

Meghan Keough, a doctoral student in clinical psychology, has received a $15,000 award from P.E.O. International for the academic year. This is the third year in a row that a Florida State University student has received the scholar award since local P.E.O. members began nominating FSU students in 2008. Keough was recommended by Nancy Marcus, dean of the Graduate School, and psychology Professor Norman Schmidt, director of the Anxiety & Behavioral Health Clinic (ABHC) at Florida State.

"The P.E.O. scholarship is a very competitive national award and it is wonderful that our students continue to stand out in the pool of nominations," Marcus said. "We are very proud of Meghan and our previous P.E.O. recipients."
