C.E Boucher Memorial Scholarship

Opportunity: The Seattle Foundation is offering the C.E. Boucher Scholarship, which awards $2500-$3000 each academic year. This scholarship is only offered to Oregonian and Washington State residents who are already in the School of Engineering at the University of Washington, Washington State University, University of Oregon, or Oregon State University with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. The award may be renewed each academic year upon re-application and consideration with all other applicants.

See the following website for requirements and application:

Department of Defense (DOD) National Defense Science & Engineering Graduate Fellowship applications.

Opportunity: As a means of increasing the number of U.S. citizens and nationals trained in science and engineering disciplines of military importance, the Department of Defense (DoD) plans to award 200 new three-year graduate fellowships in April 2006. The DoD will offer these fellowships to individuals who have demonstrated ability and special aptitude for advanced training in science and engineering. National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowships are awarded to applicants who are pursuing their doctoral degree.

The tenure of an NDSEG Fellowship is 36 months cumulatively starting Fall 2006. The DoD will pay the fellow's full tuition and required fees (not to include room and board). There are additional stipends awarded for 12 month tenures.

Applicant must be a US citizen or national, and must either:

American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers Scholarship Program.

Opportunity: The Society's Scholarship Program is designed to encourage and assist in the education of men and women to become qualified to practice as engineers in the HVAC&R industry. ASHRAE is an international technical and educational organization dedicated to serving the public by advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration through research, standards-writing, and continuing education.

See the following website for requirements and application: www.ashrae.org

Navy Officer Programs - Navy Nuclear Scholarship Program

Opportunity: The Navy's Nuclear Scholarship Program is similar to ROTC scholarship, without the ROTC classes. The Navy pays the collegiate a salary to stay in school, rather than pay for tuition. Students can apply for one of three scholarship programs. If selected, they receive $3100 per month, every month, until graduation from college. Students may apply as early as their sophomore year. Openings are in Nuclear Instructor (teaching high school graduates in physics, math, and basic engineering subjects). Instructor applicants must have at least a cum GPA of 3.3 at time of application. This program has a four year obligation to teach at our engineering campus in Charleston, S.C. Another position is the Reactor Engineer Officer. These individuals get involved with the research and design of nuclear reactors. These applicants must have at least a 3.6 cum GPA to apply (5 yr. obligation). Last, is the Nuclear Propulsion Officers aboard ships and submarines. These officers are reactor engineering supervisors and must have at least a 3.0 cum GPA to apply (5 yr. obligation & a $10K signing bonus). All these programs provide two basic benefits for the student, (1) money while in college, and (2) a guaranteed job after graduation. All programs are highly competitive and a final interview in Washington DC is the main selection factor.

The applicant must be pursuing a post-high school education in the field of engineering, math, physics, or chemistry.

Other qualifications apply (i.e., medical, US citizenship, Max age 34, criminal, etc.). Please contact for more info.

RAND Graduate School

Opportunity: The RAND Graduate School is part of RAND. The RGS doctoral fellows take graduate courses in advanced economics, statistics and systems analysis, along with seminars on a variety of cutting-edge issues. Students work on real problems while earning their Ph.D. After an average of four years, fellows leave with Ph.D. degree and two years practical experience. Starting level of $35,500 per year based on part-time research.

Humboldt Research Fellowship

Opportunity: The Humboldt Research Fellowship opportunity provides 6 to 12 months of research in Germany. Applicants must design their own research project and select hosts at German institutions. Monthly stipends range from DM 3,600 to 4,400. Applicants must also have a doctoral degree and be less than 40 years of age. Scholars in humanities must have sufficient German proficiency and scholars in the sciences must provide proof that they have sufficient proficiency in English. Fellowships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement, i.e., the quality and feasibility of the proposed research project and candidate's international publications.

IGERT Fellows Program in Global Manufacturing Logistics

Opportunity: The IGERT Fellows Program is a NSF sponsored doctoral program run jointly between the Industrial Engineering department at Lehigh University and the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. They are currently in the recruiting process for the 2002-2003 academic year. Each year, the program will admit six to eight fellows. For more information, e-mail Valerie C. Holt, Program Coordinator.

Reliability and Risk Engineering at Vanderbilt University 

Opportunity: Vanderbilt University would like to introduce graduate students to doctoral study opportunities in Reliability and Risk Engineering. The Reliability and Risk Engineering and Management Program is funded by the National Science Foundation through their Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) initiative. The graduate program is multidisciplinary and encompasses all of the engineering disciplines, Business Management, Economics, and Mathematics. For selected students that are US citizens or permanent residents, Vanderbilt University offer a Fellowship of $27,500/ year, full tuition, health insurance, and travel funds to attend professional conferences.
