NSF GRFP Awardees

    To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Graduate Research Fellowship Program, directorates from across NSF were asked to nominate names of former GRFP recipients that best reflected the diversity and rich history of the program. Nominations ranged from junior high school teachers to Nobel laureates. The final 60 profiles were selected based on a range of criteria, including gender, race/ethnicity, field of study, geographic location of graduate institutions, and current place of employment. Select an awardee to view his or her profile and testimonial.
