Two of our recent alumni (George Zhang 2017 and Pooja Nuti 2018) received the prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Each fellowship has a value of $138,000, consisting of three years of support during a five-year fellowship period. NSF provides a stipend of $34,000 to the Fellow and a cost-of-education allowance of $12,000 to the graduate degree-granting institution for each Fellow who uses the fellowship support in a fellowship year.
