In 2024, four University of Colorado Boulder computer science graduate students, including William Xie and Raquel Yupanqui, were awarded the Graduate Research Fellowship Program. This prestigious fellowship provides a $37,000 annual stipend and a $16,000 cost of education allowance for tuition for three years. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in STEM fields who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees.
William Xie and Raquel Yupanqui are among the top students in the country who have shown exceptional promise in their respective fields. They are both pursuing their PhDs in computer science and have been selected for this prestigious award for their dedication to research and academic excellence.
The Graduate Research Fellowship Program is highly competitive, with only a select few students receiving this honor each year. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of these outstanding individuals who are committed to advancing knowledge in STEM fields through research.
