Candace gets a NSF Graduate Fellowship

Super scientist and PhD student Candace Benjamin has received a fellowship from the National Science Foundation Graduate Research
Fellowship Program (GRFP). The GRFP provides three years of financial support within a five-year fellowship period ($34,000 annual stipend and $12,000 cost-of-education allowance to the graduate institution). That support is for graduate study that leads to a research-based master’s or doctoral degree in S&E. That means Candace, who is currently a second year, will not graduate for another five years. (hehehehehehe)
