Pair of WVU researchers selected as NSF Graduate Research Fellows
Two West Virginia University researchers have joined an elite group after being awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, a program that supports graduate education in STEM-based fields.
This year’s recipients are Camila Romero, of Morgantown, and Christopher Smith, of Point Pleasant. Both are pursuing research-based doctoral degrees.
The Graduate Research Fellowship program is designed to help ensure the quality, vitality and strength of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States. Fellows are provided professional development opportunities, in addition to a three-year annual stipend of $37,000.
During the application process for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the recipients received support from the WVU ASPIRE Office, which assists students applying for nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships.
