The School of Arts & Sciences is pleased to announce the undergraduate students who were selected to receive 2023 Summer Training in the Arts and Sciences (STAR), DraftKings, or Neuroscience Fellowship Awards. These awards fund students to conduct summer research projects with a faculty advisor.  STAR fellowships are made possible through the generosity of WPI’s Arts & Sciences Advisory Board. The DraftKings Fellowships are made possible by a generous gift from the DraftKings corporation to support work that elevates the impact of advanced research in information science and technology. The Neuroscience fellowships are made possible through the support from generous donors to the A&S Neuroscience Initiative. We congratulate all award recipients.
