Joshua Kovitz Awarded a Prestigious NDSEG Fellowship
I was recently awarded a prestigious National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. The NDSEG Fellowship is a "highly competitive, portable fellowship that is awarded to U.S. citizens and nationals who intend to pursue a doctoral degree." This fellowship is sponsored by the Department of Defense. On average, only 8% of EE student applicants are offered a fellowship, and this year there were over 3,000 applications nationwide. The evaluation is based on a review of each app...
