Cornell Celebrates Success: Two Students Awarded Prestigious NSF CSGrad4US Fellowships

Two first-year graduate students came to Cornell with National Science Foundation Computer and Information Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowships (NSF CSGrad4US). Leah Lackey, a doctoral student in electrical and computer engineering, and Travis Lloyd, a doctoral student in information science, are the first students from this program to attend Cornell.

CSGrad4US fellowships provide a $37,000 stipend and $16,000 cost-of-education allowance each year for three years. Unlike many other fellowships, these fellowships also provide a year-long preparation program in which fellows are coached in the graduate school application process.
