Graduate Level Scholarships and Fellowships

NSEP David L. Boren Graduate Fellowship
The National Security Education Program (NSEP) David L. Boren Fellowships enable U.S. graduate students to add an important international and language component to their education through specialization in area study, language study, or increased language proficiency. Boren Fellowships support students pursuing the study of languages, cultures, and world regions that are critical to U.S. national security but are less frequently studied by U.S. graduate students (i.e., areas of the world other than Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), and who are highly motivated by the opportunity to work in the federal government.  For more information, please visit the David L. Boren Graduate Fellowships website

2006 AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship
Increasing public understanding of science and technology is one of the principal goals of Advancing Science, Serving Society (AAAS). The association has improved coverage of science and technology in mass media for more than 30 years through the Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellows Program. This highly competitive program strengthens the connections between scientists and journalists by placing advanced science, mathematics and engineering students in newsrooms across the country. The AAAS Fellows use their academic training in the sciences as they research, write and report today's headlines, sharpening their abilities to communicate complex scientific issues to non-specialists.  For more information, please visit the AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellows Program website

NE/HP Fellowship
The Nuclear Energy and Health Physics (NE/HP) Fellowship Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy, Science, and Technology, assists graduate students in preparing for leadership roles in fission technology while supporting the broader objective of advancing fission energy through the research efforts of the fellows.  Entering and returning graduate students who have pursued undergraduate degrees in the physical sciences, life sciences, or engineering are eligible to apply.  For more information, please visit the Nuclear Engineering and Health Physics Fellowship and Scholarship Program website

NNP Fellowship
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Naval Reactors sponsors the Naval Nuclear Propulsion (NNP) Fellowship Program to encourage talented graduate students to pursue study and research in reactor physics, materials science, two-phase flow, or reactor shielding.  Entering or returning graduate students who have not yet selected a thesis topic are eligible to apply.  Students must have undergraduate degrees in the physical sciences or engineering.  For more information, please visit the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Fellowship Program website
