Fellowship Peer Mentors

Graduate Fellowship Peer Mentors (Grad FPMs) are current USC graduate students and national award winners who help the National Fellowships office with outreach. Recipients of awards such as Boren, NIH, NOAA, NSF and more, these students come from an array of different disciplines and fellowship experiences. They are excited to chat with peers about their specific fellowship experience over coffee (on us!).
