Financial Support
Graduate Students admitted to the ESE program may pursue financial support through fellowships offered by the graduate school or training grants, teaching assistantships from their home department, and/or research assistantships from grants received by their major professor.

You are encouraged to apply for fellowships. Assisantship positions are highly competitive. Once accepted into the ESE program, faculty members will contact you directly regarding any assistantship positions.

Students choosing the Masters non-thesis option for professionals are responsible for their own tuition and fees. More...

Lynn Fellowship
Deadline in March each year.
The Lynn Fellowship is intended to recruit outstanding Ph.D.-track students to interdisciplinary graduate programs at Purdue University . Each fellowship provides a four-year award package to the fellow, which includes one year of stipend support from the Graduate School and three additional years of support from the interdisciplinary graduate program. The Lynn Fellowship, whether administered as a fellowship or as an assistantship, also provides payment of tuition and most fees, and a medical insurance supplement. The student recipient must have an admit date of Fall 2009 or Spring 2010.

Award Provisions
The Lynn Fellowship provides a four-year award package to the student. The tenure of the Lynn Fellowship is one year. The Graduate School supports the stipend, payment of tuition and most fees, and a medical insurance supplement. The graduate program commits three additional years of support, contingent upon satisfactory academic and scholarly progress and work performance. These three years of support, usually in the form of research assistantships, teaching assistantships, or a combination thereof, guarantee to the fellowship recipient a total package of four years. Fellowship recipients must complete an Academic Progress Report and maintain a valid e-mail address with the Graduate School Fellowship Office. Continuation of the Lynn Fellowship award is contingent upon satisfactory academic and scholarly performance and progress; satisfactory work performance, as evaluated by the graduate faculty; and the fellow's ability to meet and maintain Graduate School Fellowship guidelines. Fellows who elect not to accept the financial support offered by the graduate program may be subject to termination of the fellowship award.
