Fourteen Graduate Students Earn External Fellowships

Each year, the Pratt School of Engineering encourages graduate students to seek support from external fellowship awards. Earning these competitive fellowships goes a long way toward helping emerging scientists conduct their research while raising Duke Engineering’s profile and research portfolio in turn.

This year, new and returning Duke Engineering graduate students nabbed 14 fellowships from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Idaho National Laboratory.

“Earning each of these fellowships is a highly competitive process,” said Jennifer West, the Fitzpatrick Family University Professor of Engineering and Associate Dean for Ph.D. Education at Duke. “It is gratifying to see the talent and hard work of our exceptional doctoral students recognized at this level.”
