Gracie Babineaux, master's student in our School of Geosciences, received a prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. This fellowship will support her doctoral degree research on methane seepage (with Dr. Davide Oppo from our School of Geosciences).
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) helps ensure the vitality of the human resource base of science and engineering in the United States and reinforces its diversity. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines pursuing research-based masters and doctoral degrees at accredited United States institutions.
Fellows share in the prestige and opportunities available when they are selected. Fellowships provide the student with a three-year annual stipend of $34,000 along with a $12,000 cost of education allowance for tuition and fees (paid to the institution), and access to opportunities for professional development available to NSF-supported graduate students.
