The National Science Foundation has awarded 43 University of Colorado Boulder students with the prestigious graduate research fellowship, the federal agencyannounced earlier this month.

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.

This years recipients of the five-year fellowship represent a wide swath of disciplines, spanning quantum physics to ecology. Each GRFP recipient will receive three years of financial support, including an annual stipend of $37,000, as well as professional development and research opportunities.

Of those 43 winners, which places the university in the top fifteen nationwide in terms of number awarded, 60% participated in a workshop or information session organized by the Graduate School, in partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. These included specialized writing workshops, coaching sessions and general informational sessions about applying for the GRFP.

"Our continued extraordinary performance among the nations top graduate schools in securing NSF GRFPs is not only a testament to our outstanding graduate students at CU, but also the Graduate Schools approach to cultivating talent with our campus partners and tremendously supportive faculty, said E. Scott Adler, dean of the Graduate School and the vice provost for graduate affairs. We are very proud of the students who have been recognized by this highly competitive program.
