Each year, the National Science Foundation awards graduate research fellowships to outstanding students who have the potential to make significant contributions to research, teaching, and innovations in science and engineering. Eight Lewis & Clark alumni received NSF Graduate Research Fellowships in 2010. Congratulations to these recipients:
Andrea Bailey BA ’05 (biology), studying animal behavior at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Claire Fassio BA ’09 (biochemistry and molecular biology), studying cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley
Katie Holzer BA ’08 (biology), studying ecology at the University of California, Davis
Conor Jacobs BA ’09 (biochemistry and molecular biology), studying neuroscience at Stanford University
Charles Morgan BA ’08 (biochemistry and molecular biology), studying chemical biology at the University of California, San Francisco
Benjamin Ross BA ’05 (biochemistry and molecular biology), studying evolutionary biology at the University of Washington
Amelia Still BA ’03 (biochemistry and molecular biology), studying biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin, Madison
Marjorie Weber BA ’07 (biology), studying ecology at Cornell University
Fellows receive three years of support for graduate education, including an annual stipend of $30,000, a $10,500 allowance for tuition and fees, and a one-time, $1,000 international travel allowance. They have the freedom to conduct their own research at any accredited U.S. or foreign institution of graduate education.
