- June, 2008, Anne Chase receives a prestigious Graduate Fellowship from the National Science Foundation. Students receive three years of funding at the institution they choose--up to $121,500--for research-focused master's and doctorate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. (They receive a stipend of $30,000 a year, plus $10,500 a year as a cost of education allowance.) NSF Fellows are expected to become experts who can contribute significantly to research, teaching, and innovations in science and engineering.
