Two Hunter graduates — Nicolina Fusco ’20 and Eric J. Reeves ’23 — have won National Science Foundation – Graduate Research Fellowships.

Fusco and Reeves join 55 other Hunter graduates and students who have won the awards since 1997.

The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program supports outstanding graduate students pursuing research-based masters and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The program aims to boost the vitality and diversity of science and engineering in the United States.

Fusco is a doctoral student in the Counseling Psychology program at BU Wheelock College of Education & Human Development. Her research focuses on bias-based harassment in adolescence through nationally representative sampled data. She is interested in identity formation in adolescence and bullying surrounding sexual orientation and identity.

Reeves earned both a BA in Sociology and an MS in Applied Digital Sociology at Hunter; he’s a PhD student at NYU, where he studies crime, law, and punishment, race and ethnicity, and Inequality. At Hunter he was a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow and participated in the Stanford-Hunter Humanities Summer Research Exchange.

NSF Fellows receive a three-year annual stipend of $34,000 along with a $12,000 allowance for tuition and fees paid directly to their accredited U.S. institution. Fellows are provided opportunities for international research and professional development and the freedom to conduct their own research.

Hunter’s Office of Prestigious Scholarships and Fellowships has a stellar track record in preparing students for competitive scholarships and fellowships. In recent years, the college has produced two Rhodes, two Marshall, six Schwarzman, five Luce, seven Goldwater, and 39 Fulbright Scholars among many other prestigious awardees.
