Graduate Student Earns USDA Fellowship for Research
By Heather Noel
UNT chemistry doctoral student Sydney Schoellhorn (’19, ’21 M.S.) learned an important lesson when it comes to research funding: rejections are inevitable even for the most experienced of scholars, but it only takes one yes to make a big difference — and make UNT history.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently awarded Schoellhorn a $180,000 pre-doctoral fellowship through its National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
