Sarah Dunn Ditchek ‘14, a G&G: Atmosphere, Ocean, and Climate major, was recently awarded a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. This fall, Sarah will be pursuing a Ph.D in Atmospheric Science at the University at Albany where she will be working with Professor John Molinari and researching topics involving hurricane intensification and genesis.
The NDSEG fellowship is a competitive, portable fellowship that is awarded to U.S. citizens and nationals who intend to pursue a doctoral degree in one of fifteen supported disciplines. The Department of Defense offers these fellowships to individuals who have demonstrated the ability and special aptitude for advanced training in science and engineering. NDSEG confers high honors upon its recipients, and allows them to attend whichever U.S. institution they choose. Fellowships last for three years and pay for full tuition and all mandatory fees, a monthly stipend, and up to $1,000 a year in medical insurance.
