NSF Graduate Fellowships for 2006-2007
   
       
   

A limited number of fellowships are available for graduate students in Engineering and the Physical Sciences. The fellowships are funded by the National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education under the NSF Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) program (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5472&from=fund). Each fellow receives an annual stipend of $30,000 and a cost-of-education allowance of $10,500. In addition to their thesis research, each fellow is expected to commit 15 hours per week to the project, 10 of which are to be in direct interaction with K-12 teachers and/or students. Women and under-represented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply.

 

The project’s technical theme is advanced transportation technology. More information is available at http://csats.psu.edu/GREATT/graduates.cfm. Application materials are available on line at the same location. Applications should be submitted as soon as possible, and no later than 10 June 2006. Decisions will be made shortly thereafter, and appointments will begin 1 August 2006.

 

Basic Requirements:

  • Full-time graduate student in Engineering or the Physical Sciences (Ph.D. candidates preferred)
  • U.S. citizen or permanent resident
  • Approval of graduate thesis advisor
