Physics Students Receive Prestigious NSF Fellowships
Current undergraduate Doug Schaefer (bottom photo) and recent graduate Greg Kestin (2008) (top photo) were both awarded a 2009 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Winners of this fellowship receive a three year annual stipend of $30,000, a $10,500 allowance to cover the cost of tuition and fees, and a $1,000 travel allowance. The fellowship can be applied towards a graduate program at any accredited institution either in the U.S or abroad. Schaefer will begin his fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania as a physics graduate student in autumn 2009. Kestin plans to use his fellowship to continue his physics graduate program at Harvard University.
