Prestigious NSF fellowship awarded to 40 graduate students
The Graduate Research Fellowship Program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in a wide variety of science-related disciplines泭
The National Science Foundation has awarded 40 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder students with the prestigious graduate research fellowship, which places the university in the top 15 nationwide in terms of number awarded, the .泭
The Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) recognizes outstanding graduate students from across the country in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, paving the way for their continued work exploring some of the most complex and pressing issues of our time. The program received more than 14,000 applicants nationwide during this cycle and awarded 2,599 students. With 40 of those recipients, CU Boulder ranked 14th in the country and泭eighth among all public institutions.
This years recipients of the five-year fellowship represent a wide range of disciplines at CU Boulder, spanning from human geography to quantum computing. Each will receive three years of financial support, including an annual stipend of $37,000, as well as professional development and research opportunities.泭
泭We are proud of the outstanding students who have been recognized by this highly competitive fellowship.

It is gratifying to see so many CU Boulder students earn NSF fellowship support, said Massimo Ruzzene, senior vice chancellor for research and innovation and dean of the institutes. CU Boulders depth of excellence in graduate education continues to be reflected in these awards. I congratulate each of these students on their achievements to date and on the meaningful contributions they will make through their fellowship-supported work.泭
As in previous years, many of the CU students who were awarded GRFPs participated in an information session and/or workshop organized by the Graduate School, in partnership with the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. These included specialized writing workshops, coaching sessions and general informational sessions about the NSF and applying for the GRFP.泭
The Graduate School is excited about the continued success of our graduate students in securing funding through the NSF GRFP. With all the uncertainty around federal funding, its terrific to see such robust numbers, which will fund promising researchers for years to come. Our success this year is a testament to not only our extraordinary graduate students, but also our collaborative approach with campus partners to prepare those students, said Scott Adler, dean of the Graduate School and vice provost for graduate affairs. We are proud of the outstanding students who have been recognized by this highly competitive fellowship.泭
