A Virginia Commonwealth University student has been selected for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) and three VCU students received honorable mentions.
Kavya Puthuveetil, a senior studying Biomedical Engineering in the College of Engineering, was selected for the NSF GRFP, as was Jensen Wainwright, who received her BS in Anthropology in the College of Humanities and Sciences in 2019 and is now studying Biological Anthropology at the University of Oregon, Eugene. Ashley Cardenas-Alviar, a senior studying Biomedical Engineering in the College of Engineering, Nidhi Naik, a first-year graduate student studying Chemistry in the College of Humanities and Sciences, and Emily Wandling, a first-year graduate student studying Biomedical Engineering in the College of Engineering, received honorable mentions.
The NSF GRFP recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported STEM disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited U.S. institutions. The five-year fellowship includes three years of financial support including an annual stipend of $34,000 and a cost of education allowance of $12,000 to the institution.
VCU’s National Scholarship Office (NSO) assists students and recent alumni with the application process for the NSF GRFP and other esteemed awards. On Thursday, April 21 at 2:00 pm the NSO is holding a virtual NSF GRFP Workshop. During this three-part workshop you will learn about the award and how our office can support you in applying, to gain insight into the application essays, and to hear advice and about the review process from VCU faculty members who have served as national reviewers for the GRFP.
