Biochemistry Major Sarah Neshat Selected for an NSF Graduate Fellowship

Graduating senior Sarah Neshat has been awarded a fellowship by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP).  The Biochemistry major is planning to join the PhD Program in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. 

The prestigious NSF GRFP is a highly competitive fellowship program that supports outstanding graduate students in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields by covering tuition and offering a monthly stipend covering cost-of-living for three years of graduate studies. Last year, there were more than 12,000 applicants for only 2,000 fellowships.  Sarah will receive a three-year stipend of $34,000 a year for graduate school as well as $12,000 a year to the school of her choice, with all tuition and fees waived.
