Two Chatham Students Win National Science Foundation Fellowships
Another received an honorable mention. The fellowships were the latest recognition of their undergraduate chemistry research.
Two Chatham University undergraduate students, Sam Beall-Dennell ’25 and Syba Ismail ’25, were this week awarded fellowships from the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program. Another student, Allie Rutledge ’25, received an honorable mention.
Beall-Dennell received an award in the chemistry field studying chemical theory, models, and computational methods. Ismail’s award is for materials research into polymers.
This year, only 200 undergraduates received this award out of approximately 13,000 applicants, which include graduate and undergraduate students.
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program is intended to help ensure the quality, vitality, and strength of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States. The five-year Fellowship provides three years of financial support, including an annual stipend of $37,000.
