The Department of Natural Sciences at Lawrence Technological University (LTU) is happy and proud to announce that two of our recent science graduates, Andrea Houck and John Boowen, now graduate students elsewhere, were offered the 2023 awards in the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF GRFP award is a prestigious and highly competitive fellowship with a roughly 16% annual acceptance rate from among more than 12,000 applicants. The five-year fellowship provides three years of financial support inclusive of an annual stipend of $37,000, according to the National Science Foundation.

John Bowen graduated LTU in May 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cell Biology and minors in Chemistry and Mathematics. He spent one year at the University of Washington, Seattle, working on SARS-CoV-2 structural biology in the lab of Dr. David Veesler. He is now a graduate student in the David Rockefeller Ph.D. program in Bioscience at the Rockefeller University, New York.
Being chosen as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow is a significant national accomplishment and places graduate students among an elite group of Fellows, many of whom have gone on to distinguished careers in STEM or STEM education. The purpose of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is to ensure the quality, vitality, and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States. GRFP seeks to broaden participation in science and engineering of underrepresented groups, including women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and veterans.
