More Than 90 Students Receive Fellowships

Awards include Marshall, Gates Cambridge, Fulbright scholarships

Northwestern University students and recent graduates have won some of the most prestigious fellowships awarded to college and university student this year.

The awards include Marshall, Gates Cambridge, Fulbright, Javits and National Science Foundation (NSF) fellowships and Luce and Goldwater scholarships.

More than 90 Northwestern students were recipients of the awards that provide support for advanced education and/or research in the United States and around the world.

Office of Fellowships Assistant Director Christopher Hager said that this year’s winners include more graduate students than ever before.

Nearly a third of Northwestern Fulbright applicants have been awarded the grant -- a rate much higher than the national average. The recipients are bound for 15 countries on four continents. Northwestern also had the most recipients – 17 -- of the National Science Foundation fellowships than in past years despite NSF funding being cut.
