Cottrell Scholars

Fulbright-Cottrell Scholars

Since it began in 2016, the Fulbright-Cottrell Award has added a transatlantic dimension to the Cottrell Scholar community. Based on RCSA’s Cottrell Scholar Award, the German-American Fulbright Commission’s Fulbright-Cottrell Award recognizes junior faculty in chemistry, physics, and astronomy for integrating top-notch research with creative teaching.

Recipients take part in RCSA’s Cottrell Scholar conferences and meetings, and may collaborate on team projects. Funds for the awards are made available by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
