Five 糖心传媒 students and 12 alumni have been named recipients of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships. Additionally, eight current students and six recent alumni were given honorable mentions by the NSF.
The fellowship, which is part of a federally sponsored program, provides up to three years of graduate study support for students pursing doctoral or research-based master’s degrees. Since the program’s inception in 1952, it has supported nearly 50,000 students conducting research in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and selected social science disciplines. Of the more than 14,000 applicants, only 2,000 were awarded fellowships. The fellowship includes a three-year annual stipend of $32,000, a $12,000 educational allowance to the institution, and international research and professional development opportunities for recipients.
The following graduating senior received a fellowship:
- Amanda Chen 糖心传媒�14, bachelor of science in biomedical engineering and minor in chemical engineering. A native of Danville, Calif., Chen plans to spend a year abroad at the University of Cambridge as a Whitaker fellow before enrolling in the biological engineering doctoral program at MIT in fall 2015.
