Students are drawn to the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowship for many different reasons. Some appreciate the small size. Others like the opportunity to connect with top scientists at DOE national laboratories. All fellows, however, are committed to exploring the frontiers of physics, nuclear science, and materials. In these short vignettes, participants discuss what attracted them to the program and how it advances their career goals.
