The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported STEM disciplines who are pursuing research-based master\u2019s and doctoral degrees.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe success of Georgia Tech\u2019s research mission relies very heavily on the work of our graduate students,\u201d said Bonnie Ferri, vice provost for Graduate and Postdoctoral Education. \u201cWe are proud and honored to host the NSF GRF Scholars, who have outstanding accomplishments and potential for research. We are excited to see what they will do with this tremendous opportunity.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis year, the NSF also granted an \u201chonorable mention\u201d designation to 11 of Tech\u2019s graduate student applicants. This designation acknowledges the student\u2019s potential for success in future graduate studies and research.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Fellowship provides significant financial support to recipients, including a three-year annual stipend of $37,000 along with a $12,00 cost of education allowance for tuition and fees. Recipients also receive access to opportunities for professional development.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENSF Graduate Research Fellows are anticipated to become knowledge experts who can contribute significantly to research, teaching, and innovations in science and engineering. These individuals are crucial to maintaining and advancing the nation\u2019s technological infrastructure and national security as well as contributing to the economic well-being of society at large.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Graduate Research Fellowship has a long history of selecting recipients who achieve high levels of success in their future academic and professional careers. Tech\u2019s fellowship recipients will join an exclusive group of previous fellows. Currently, 42 Fellows have gone on to become Nobel laureates, and more than 450 have become members of the National Academy of Sciences. In addition, the Graduate Research Fellowship Program has a high rate of doctorate degree completion, with more than 70% of students completing their doctorate within 11 years.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIntroducing Tech\u2019s 49 graduate student awardees and honorees for the 2023 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EChemistry\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u2022\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;
