Clemson student and her graduate research fellowship

A Clemson University student from Central, Annika DeVol, is one of five Clemson students recognized recently with a STEM-focused graduate research fellowship.  The fellowships are awarded each year through the National Science Foundation.  DeVol can look forward to a three-year stipend of $37 thousand and a $16 thousand cost-of-education allowance.  She is a materials science and engineering major with a chemistry minor.  Her research explores the connection between material properties and performance, such as how heat can impact the structural integrity of a material.
