Thinking about pursuing a graduate degree in a math, science, or engineering field? Consider taking advantage of some great fellowship opportunities listed below.
Sandia directly supports student fellowships with two consortiums: the National Physical Science Consortium and Minorities in Engineering and Science, Inc. (GEM). Sandia indirectly supports many other fellowships by offering qualified recipients paid internships through an application process.
Following is a brief description of current fellowships available in discipline areas needed at Sandia National Laboratories. Included are links to websites containing detailed information, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, and deadline dates.
Sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories for exceptional candidates who are interested in joining Sandia and pursuing their master’s degrees through the Masters Fellowship Program (MFP) in engineering, computer science, computer engineering, or another related discipline. The MFP is a recruiting program designed to enable Sandia National Laboratories to meet its affirmative-action goals, while building Sandia’s capabilities with exceptional employees who have earned advanced technical degrees and who have demonstrated the attributes necessary to work at one of the premier national laboratories in the United States.
Sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories to attract the best nationally recognized new Ph.D. scientists and engineers, this fellowship encourages postdocs to pursue independent research of their own choosing that supports Sandia’s national-security mission.
Through a program of paid summer internships and graduate financial assistance, underrepresented minority students are offered support to obtain M.S. degrees in engineering and Ph.D. degrees in engineering and the natural and physical sciences. GEM is a privately funded, nonprofit graduate-education organization.
This graduate fellowship is for students interested in obtaining a Ph.D. Sandia is an industrial affiliate and supports students with a stipend for up to six years.
Sponsored by DOE through the Krell Institute for students interested in obtaining a Ph.D. in computational science, this fellowship requires students to complete a practicum at a national laboratory. Students are supported by a stipend from the Department of Energy for up to four years.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), these scholarships and fellowships are intended for students interested in pursuing basic science-and-technology innovations that can be applied to the DHS mission. Areas of study include the following: physical, biological, social, and behavioral sciences; engineering; mathematics; and computer science. DHS offers competitive stipends and tuition allowances.
The Hertz Foundation provides a research fellowship for graduate students in the physical sciences, including engineering. Fellows are supported by a stipend from the Hertz Foundation for a maximum period of five years.
