THE KRELL INSTITUTE

The stewardship science graduate fellowship (ssgf) program selects highly qualified students in stewardship science disciplines that are important to the united states department of energy's national nuclear security administration. Stewardship science includes areas of study relative to high energy density physics, nuclear science, materials under extreme conditions, and hydrodynamics. The fellows complete a program of study at a united states research university, spend at least twelve consecutive weeks at a department of energy national defense laboratory working on a research project of importance to the nation, and attend an annual symposium to share their research experience with other students in the stewardship science graduate fellowship program and with department of energy headquarters and laboratory research staff. During fy2024, six fellows completed the phd fellowship program and are now employed in either postdoctoral programs, in an educational field, or at department of energy laboratories. Eight new students were selected to receive fellowships, bringing the total number of fellows in the program to 20. Ssgf fellows were enrolled at 14 different research universities in the united states. The department of energy national nuclear security administration laboratory residency graduate fellowship (doe nnsa lrgf) selects and supports students pursuing a ph.d. In areas of engineering and applied sciences, physics, materials and mathematics and computational science that address complex science and engineering problems critical to stewardship science. The fellows complete a program of study at a united states research university, spend at least two twelve-week residencies at a department of energy national defense laboratory working on a research project of importance to the nation, and attend an annual symposium to share their research experience with other students in the laboratory residency graduate fellowship program and with department of energy headquarters and laboratory research staff.during fy2024, six new students were selected to receive fellowships, bringing the total number of fellows in the program to 16. Five fellows completed the phd fellowship program and are now employed at department of energy laboratories, in academia, within nnsa, or in industry. During this time, lrgf fellows were enrolled at 14 different research universities in the united states.
