The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded 38 Georgia Tech students with Graduate Research Fellowships (GRF), more than any other college or university in the state.
The fellowships, valued at more than $100,000 each, include $30,000 per year for three years for graduate study and $10,500 annually for three years for tuition. This year’s recipients, 23 men and 15 women, are comprised of 28 graduate students and 10 undergraduates (seniors). Areas of study range from artificial intelligence to science policy. In addition, 37 current Georgia Tech students received an honorable mention designation from NSF.
As a result of increased financial support from Stimulus Funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, NSF made 2,000 awards in 2010 compared to 1,244 awards last year. The purpose of the GRF initiative, the oldest of NSF’s programs, is to foster experts who will contribute significantly to research, teaching and innovations in science and engineering.
