Congratulations to Irina Holmes, a Mathematics Department Graduate Student advised by Professor Ambar Sengupta, for winning a prestigious Graduate School Dissertation-Year Fellowship for the academic year 2013-2014.
A grant from the Louisiana Board of Regents will provide for two Doctoral Fellowships. The students who receive these Fellowships for studies beginning in Fall 2014 will have no teaching duties so they can concentrate on their own studies. The stipends will be $32,000 per year and will run for four years, tuition-free.
