The University of Georgia Graduate School recognizes its new recipients of the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP). The NSF GRFP is a highly competitive national fellowship that supports graduate students engaged in scientific research.
GRFP recipients are selected based on their potential to advance scientific knowledge and societal benefits in NSF-supported fields of study. Each fellow receives three years of financial support including an annual stipend and a cost of education allowance for fellows to pursue their graduate degree.
We are so proud of our GRFP recipients for their remarkable achievements. We look forward to supporting them in their graduate training at UGA and to celebrating the impact they will have in their fields and in their communities. — Ron Walcott, Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Dean of the Graduate School
