The U.S. Department of Education has awarded the Department fellowships in the area of advanced materials through the GAANN program.  

The Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) program provides fellowships, through academic departments, to assist graduate students with excellent records who demonstrate financial need and plan to pursue the highest degree available in their course study at the institution in a field designated as an area of national need. Each fellowship covers the full cost of tuition and provides an annual stipend of up to $30,000.

The focus of the Vanderbilt ChBE GAANN is the broad area of Advanced Materials which involves the design, synthesis/fabrication, characterization, and/or simulation of molecular systems with new or unique functionalities, often targeted for specific applications.

The program will be directed by Professors Clare McCabe and Kane Jennings. More information about the GAANN can be found here.
