  • Amber Colquhoun Offered National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship
Amber Colquhoun

Amber Colquhoun is one of four BSOS Terps who were recently offered an opportunity to participate in the National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) in recognition of their successful academic careers and pursuit of NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines.

As NSF Graduate Research Fellows, each Terp will receive a three-year annual stipend of $37,000; a $16,000 cost of education allowance for tuition and fees; and access to opportunities for professional development.

Amber Colquhoun is a Ph.D. student in Government and Politics who aspires to become a professor.

Colquhoun’s research "revolves around understanding the nexus and hierarchies between class dynamics and Blackness" and "aims to contribute to understanding class positionality in affluent Black political decision-making, and the role of middle and upper-class identity in Black political behavior and opinion."

Colquhoun said that with the help of the fellowship grant, she can focus her attention on completing her dissertation, strengthening her research agenda, and work toward her goal of achieving a tenure-track position after graduation.
