A record number of Florida State University students have been selected to receive highly competitive and valuable National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowships. At present, Florida State has two such students. This year, another seven have been offered - five to graduate students and two to undergraduates.
"The Graduate Research Fellowship is an immensely prestigious award," said Nancy Marcus, dean of The Graduate School. "For as long as I have been dean, we have only had maybe one or two students enrolled at any one time as Graduate Research Fellows."
Alyse Taylor and Ashley Thomson from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering were among the recipients of the 2010 NSF research fellowship.
