The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program has awarded 13 Dartmouth students and alumni with fellowships for 2024, and another 14 have received honorable mentions.
According to the NSF program, its mission is to “help ensure the quality, vitality, and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States.”
The awards, which include an annual stipend and access to professional development opportunities, aim to provide fellows in eligible graduate doctoral programs with the opportunity to pursue their research interests and make strides in their specific fields.
“The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program is a highly competitive and prestigious award for young researchers, and we are proud of our Dartmouth fellows,” says F. Jon Kull ’88, dean of the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies. “The GRFP has a long history of funding students who become lifelong leaders, contributing significantly to both scientific innovation and teaching.”
