DoE ARRA New Graduate Fellowships in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering  U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu has announced that up to $12.5 million in ARRA funding will be awarded in early 2010 to support at least 80 graduate fellowships to U.S. students pursuing advanced degrees in science, mathematics, and engineering through the newly created Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Fellowship program. The goal of the fellowship program is to encourage outstanding students to pursue graduate degrees in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, and environmental and computer sciences – fields that will prepare students for careers that can make significant contributions in discovery driven science and science for national needs in energy and the environment.  To be eligible for the Fellowship, applicants must be U.S. citizens and currently a first or second year graduate student enrolled at a U.S. academic institution, or an undergraduate senior who will be enrolled as a first year graduate student by the fall of 2010.  Applicants must be pursuing graduate study and research in the physical, biological, engineering and computational sciences.  Interested students can apply online at: http://www.scied.science.doe.gov/SCGF.html  Each fellowship award will be $50,500 per year for three years to provide support for tuition, living expenses, research materials and travel to research conferences.  Fellowships will be awarded on the basis of peer review. Deadline: November 30.
