Leading up to the announcement that he had won one of the world's most prestigious scholarships, there were interviews with the selection committee, a cocktail party with other candidates and judges, and a lot of waiting. But Saturday night, he and several other candidates were standing in a Washington, D.C., hotel ballroom, waiting for the winners to be announced. His was the first name called.
