<div dir="ltr">Hi QSB students,<div>If you APPLY for this fellowship, Grad Div will give you $200. If you get it, you won't have to TA or take the Chem test anymore. Also, it is related to your own research and will be useful to your career. EVERYONE who is eligible and not on fellowship should apply. I am certain that your advisors and committee members will be happy to take a look at your applications. <br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Marjorie Zatz</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mzatz@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">mzatz@ucmerced.edu</a>></span><br>Date: Wed, Sep 27, 2017 at 3:14 AM<br>Subject: FW: National Science Foundation Update Daily Digest Bulletin<br>To: Miriam Barlow <<a href="mailto:miriam.barlow@gmail.com" target="_blank">miriam.barlow@gmail.com</a>>, Sayantani Ghosh <<a href="mailto:clover1002@gmail.com" target="_blank">clover1002@gmail.com</a>>, Harish Bhat <<a href="mailto:hbhat@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">hbhat@ucmerced.edu</a>>, Marc Beutel <<a href="mailto:mbeutel@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">mbeutel@ucmerced.edu</a>>, Erik Menke <<a href="mailto:emenke@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">emenke@ucmerced.edu</a>>, Kara McCloskey <<a href="mailto:kmccloskey@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">kmccloskey@ucmerced.edu</a>><br>Cc: Eric Cannon <<a href="mailto:ecannon2@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">ecannon2@ucmerced.edu</a>><br><br><br>
