This fellowship, in honor of the late Scott Morton, has been made possible through the Energy HPC & AI Conference fund for Scott's contribution to founding the conference (formerly the Rice Oil & Gas HPC Conference) and his dedication to serving on the conference committee until his passing in 2022.
