Fellowships for the Sciences

I think a lot of the time in these kinds of applications, they’re not really looking for you to be perfect ... they want to see that you’re able to adapt and work with what you’re given.”

Holland Rhodd-Lee ’19, Neuroscience & Music

2018 National Institute of Standards and Technology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow (NIST SURF)
