Finding a fellowship--NSF, NDSEG, SMART, NASA, etc.--depends on writing a great application. Learn how to write a great application at the Annual "Undergraduate and Graduate Fellowships: There's an App for That" Seminar which is organized and hosted by the Clark School of Engineering. CMNS graduate and undergraduate students are invited to attend the seminars! Application deadlines for graduate fellowships are much earlier this year than in the past. Therefore the annual fall seminars with information on fellowship applications will be held very soon. NOTE: The fellowship programs are mostly restricted to US citizens, nationals and permanent residents. While the NSF program is now only open to students who are within the first three semesters of their first graduate degree program (i.e. have commenced graduate studies after August 1st, 2013) some of the other programs, like the SMART Fellowships are open to students at all stages of undergraduate and graduate research. Seminar Topics include: 1 "Keys to a Successful App," by Dr. F. Duvinage 2 "How We Did It," a discussion by current fellowship recipients. (NOTE: Volunteers sought for this -if you are a recipient of one of these prestigious awards, please email [log in to unmask]) 3 "How We Rank Apps," a discussion by application review panel members 4 Q & A throughout!
