Sarah Receives an Honorable Mention in the 2024 NSF-Graduate Research Fellowship Program

The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF-GFRP) is a prestigious award offered by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It supports outstanding graduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields by providing financial assistance for their research-based graduate studies. Because the NSF supports so many disciplines, only a small number of awards go towards Biochemistry nationally each year.

Receiving an honorable mention in the NSF-GFRP competition is a significant achievement. While it may not come with the same financial benefits as the fellowship itself, it still indicates that the applicant's proposal and qualifications stood out among a highly competitive pool of applicants. Congratulations Sarah, the process of putting out a very competitive application at such an early stage of graduate studies is an amazing achievement!
