Quote:
We received more than 1,300 completed applications. Applications were subjected to a rigorous external review by distinguished scientists. Selections were based on demonstration of outstanding academic achievement and preparedness for graduate education and research, supported by evidence in the submitted application materials (including the online application, letters of recommendations, official transcripts, etc.). From the review process, 254 applicants were selected as Finalists; 50 of the most highly reviewed Finalists were extended a fellowship offer.
Only 50 fellowships awarded; I suspect their funding was reduced.
