Holly C. Tuten Awarded 2008 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship
CLEMSON - Holly Tuten, M.S. student in biodiversity of medically important arthropods under Dr. Peter Adler, has been awarded one of the prized National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowships for 2008.
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) offers approximately 1,100 graduate fellowships annually in this competition. The GRFP provides three years of support for graduate study leading to research-based master’s or doctoral degrees and is intended for students who are in the early stages of their graduate study. The GRFP invests in graduate education for a cadre of diverse individuals who demonstrate their potential to successfully complete graduate degree programs in disciplines relevant to the mission of the NSF. The GRFP is designed to provide opportunities for advanced education that prepares students for a broad range of disciplinary and cross-disciplinary careers through its strategic investments in intellectual capital.
The purpose of the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is to ensure the vitality of the scientific and technological workforce in the United States and to reinforce its diversity. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in the relevant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees. NSF Fellows are expected to become knowledge experts who can contribute significantly to research, teaching, and innovations in science and engineering. These individuals will be crucial to maintaining and advancing the nation’s technological infrastructure and national security as well as contributing to the economic well being of society at large.
Holly received her undergraduate degree in biology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 2006.
