MSE, EES double-major earns prestigious NSF graduate fellowship
Henry Price ’23 just graduated with degrees from the Rossin College and Lehigh’s College of Arts and Sciences—though not everything has gone as planned for the double major in materials science and engineering (MSE) and earth and environmental sciences (EES).
“My original idea had been to stay at Lehigh and get a master’s degree,” says Price. “I had always been interested in pursuing a PhD, but was concerned about funding. With the GRFP, I’m able to move right into a PhD instead of waiting a few years and working after getting my master’s.”
