Lindamarie Olson of Millersville has been selected as a 2022 recipient of a dissertation fellowship by The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, an all-discipline collegiate honor society. The $10,000 fellowships are designed to support active society members in the dissertation writing stage of doctoral study. Olson is one of 10 recipients nationwide to receive the award.

Olson is a doctoral candidate at the University of Houston. Her research focuses on interventions for at-risk youths to reduce their initial contact with the justice system and to limit their ongoing involvement in the system.

The recipients were selected based on a number of criteria, including how the fellowship will contribute to the completion of the dissertation, significance of the original research, and endorsement by the dissertation chair.
