The National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering in an effort to increase engineering and scientific talent among underrepresented minority students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematical fields (STEM) has implemented several fellowship opportunities for university students. NACME’s commitment to implementing effective programs to increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation of under-represented students in the Engineering fields has partnered with several leading corporations and foundations to provide scholarship opportunities. Application and Eligibility requirements are provided with an extensive list of several fellowship and scholarship opportunities.
NACME FELLOWSHIPS
“The NACME Fellows program was created to provide an opportunity for individuals and companies interested in establishing a named scholarship program in support of NACME’s mission to increase the representation of underrepresented (URM) minorities in engineering.”
The 2010 SMART Scholarship application will be closing on December 15, 2009 at 5pm EST.
SMART has been established by the Department of Defense (DoD) to support undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The program aims to increase the number of civilian scientists and engineers working at DoD laboratories.
Eligibility requirements for applicants include:
*Must be a U.S. citizen and at least 18 years of age or older as of August 1, 2010.
*Able to participate in summer internships at DoD laboratories
*Willing to accept post-graduate employment with the DoD
*Must be in good standing with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (as calculated by the SMART application)
*Pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in one of the disciplines listed on the About SMART page
ASEE and NSF are currently sponsoring the Corporate Research Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, which provides engineers the opportunity to conduct their postdoctoral research at a corporate sponsor. “Up to 40 positions are anticipated. Each research fellow will receive a stipend of at least $75,000 plus health insurance benefits, of which the host company would provide a minimum of $27,500 and other non-cash support.”
Currently, corporations are now encouraged to register on https://aseensfip.asee.org/ and add information about possible fellowship opportunities.
Engineers will be able to register and apply for the openings soon.
