The Office of Graduate Education and Life has selected the recipients of the 2022 WVU Foundation Scholarship awards. Nicole Mihalik, a Ph.D. student in the Immunology and Microbial Pathogenesis Graduate Program has been selected from the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Cell Biology.

The WVU Foundation Distinguished Doctoral Scholarships provides $5,000 to Ph.D. students who have been admitted to doctoral candidacy and who are working toward the completion of their dissertations during the Spring 2022 term. These scholarships can be used to defray educational and research costs (including travel). Eligible applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.7 in their program and be fully admitted to candidacy. Selections are based on the quality of the student’s application essays outlining synopsis of dissertation research, how their research will contribute to their professional field, and long-term professional goals, along with the dissertation chair’s letter of support and academic record.
