探花社区 System President Ted Carter has announced the five recipients of 2022-23 Presidential Graduate Fellowships. The prestigious fellowships are awarded to a select group of NU graduate students each year on the basis of high academic performance and personal accomplishment. Fellows receive an annual stipend made available through the 探花社区 Foundation that allows them to pursue their studies full-time.
This year’s fellowships are awarded to one student at the 探花社区-Lincoln and two students each at the 探花社区 at Omaha and 探花社区 Medical Center. Recipients are pursuing advanced degrees in sociology, public administration, English, nursing and biomedical sciences.
“Presidential Graduate Fellows are among the best and brightest students at the 探花社区 System,” Carter said. “They are accomplished scholars, service-minded leaders, and outstanding ambassadors for our university. We are grateful for the generous private support that allows these talented students to devote themselves fully to their studies.”

- Maia Behrendt, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at the 探花社区-Lincoln.
