Department of Energy Awards 5 Graduate Fellowships

The United States has an ongoing need for expertise in the technical areas of stewardship science.  One step that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has taken to address that need is the creation of the National Nuclear Security Administration Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowship (NNSA SSGF) program.

Funded by the NNSA’s Office of Defense Programs, this program provides outstanding benefits and opportunities to students pursuing a Ph.D. in areas of interest to stewardship science, such as high-energy density physics, low-energy nuclear science, or properties of materials under extreme conditions and hydrodynamics.

The fellowship provides up to four year of support. Benefits include a yearly stipend of $32,400; payment of all tuition and fees; and a $1,000 annual academic allowance.  In addition, fellows are provided the opportunity to participate in research at a DOE laboratory.

The Krell Institute, which administers the fellowship, takes pleasure in announcing the awardees for the 2007-2008 academic year:
