[NABS-L] Apply by this Friday! AFB research fellowship program

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Mariam,
For this specific program, only graduate students qualify. AFB also has an
annual scholarship program for both undergraduate and graduate students,
including community college students. We will post that opportunity once
applications open for the 2026-2027 school year.
Best, Arielle
