Jeff Nicolaisen, Ph.D. candidate in the Graduate Program in Religion, has been awarded two fellowships for the 2018-2019 academic year. He was selected to receive both the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Fellowship and the Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship.
Nicolaisen has been no stranger to winning fellowships and grants since his matriculation in fall of 2013. Having recently returned from Taiwan, where he was on a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad fellowship, Jeff has also been the recipient of grants from various groups, such as the Global Asia Initiative and the Chung Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies.
The Bass Fellowship will allow Nicolaisen to teach an undergraduate course this fall on Science and Religion for the Department of Religious Studies. Also of note is that Nicolaisen was one of 21 Newcombe Fellows chosen from more than 500 applicants.
