How is CCNY for out of state students?

Ellianna Schwab, a graduating senior in the Macaulay Honors College at The City College of New York, is the recipient of a 2017 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. The NSF has also awarded the coveted fellowship to Joseph Derosa, a 2015 CCNY alumnus from the Macaulay Honors College.

The fellowships recognize and support exceptional students who have proposed graduate-level research projects in their fields. Selection is through a national competition.

Fellows receive an annual stipend of $34,000 and $12,000 cost-of-education allowance for graduate study that leads to a research-based master’s or doctoral degree in science or engineering.

Schwab, a B.S. candidate in physics and mathematics, intends to use her NSF grant to study gravitational waves in close binary stars. She has yet to decide on a graduate school.

This is Schwab’s latest honor at CCNY. In 2016 she won a Goldwater Scholarship – a highly competitive federal grant for undergraduates who have the potential to make significant contributions in the STEM fields – and received the Chambliss Student Poster Award from the American Astronomy Society. The latter was for her research on star-like objects known as brown dwarfs.
