Marquette University doctoral candidate receives AAUW American Fellowship The American Association of University Women awarded a 2014-15 American Fellowship to Stacy Stolzman, M.P.T., Ph.Dc. She is a doctoral candidate in the Clinical and Translational Rehabilitation Health Science Doctoral Program. American Fellowships, AAUW’s oldest and largest funding program, date back to 1888 and support women scholars who are completing doctoral dissertations, conducting postdoctoral research or finishing research for publication. “This award is an amazing honor,” says Stolzman. “I am looking forward to completing my dissertation during my fellowship year. This award will allow me to focus on my research by providing funding for child care expenses, living expenses, and conference travel to present my research findings.” Stolzman is a pediatric physical therapist with more than 15 years of experience evaluating children and making exercise prescriptions to improve health. Her current dissertation project investigates the roles of body composition, physical fitness and inflammation in adolescent pain. Her goal is to teach pediatric physical therapy at a research university.
