New Fellows

It gives me great pleasure to announce the newly-selected NPSC Fellows for the coming academic year. Each was identified as outstanding by our Academic Selection Committee and chosen from that select group by one of our employer members. The NPSC Fellowship offers each new fellow up to six years of funding toward their doctoral program. We know these outstanding students will accomplish much.
