Four of ERG’s first-year Master’s students are currently National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellows (GRF), including Rachel Golden, Patricia Hidalgo-Gonzalez, Cecilia Springer, and Emily Woods.
Since 1952, NSF has provided fellowships to individuals selected early in their graduate careers based on their demonstrated potential for significant achievements in science and engineering. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is a critical program in NSF’s overall strategy to develop the globally-engaged workforce necessary to ensure the nation’s leadership in advancing science and engineering research and innovation.
