The fellowships are named after scientific and technical luminaries who have been associated with the laboratory, its predecessors and the University of Chicago since the 1940s, including:

The name of the fellowship is assigned based on the recipient’s scientific or engineering discipline.

Applications for the 2014 Named Fellowships will be accepted through October 15, 2013.
