Jan Vicente, an IMET and LMRCSC graduate student, was awarded a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship. This Program recognizes outstanding scholarship and encourages independent graduate level research. Jan is working towards his Ph.D. in the lab of Dr. Russell Hill.

There were 254 applications for this prestigious award and only a very few granted, so it is a major accomplishment by Jan in being selected for this scholarship. The scholarship provides substantial support for Jan's graduate studies over the next three years.
