These information sessions are intended for undergraduates beyond their first year and all graduate students in STEM-field majors.
The RISE Scholarship provides funding for a three-month summer research internship in a lab in Germany (working language is English!) and the SMART scholarship, a Department of Defense initiative, provides funding for tuition and educational fees and requires recipients to complete summer internships and then full-time work post-graduation doing research in a DoD lab. The Department of Defense National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship is a prestigious fellowship awarded annually to U.S. citizens pursuing doctoral degrees in science and engineering disciplines.
Information sessions will be held in person and virtually on:
Thursday, October 20 @ 3:30pm - Zoom
Tuesday, October 25 @ 2:00pm - Hybrid (In-person option will be held in ENG-ERB 1313)
The two sessions will be identical. Zoom links will be provided within 24 hours of each session to those who register.
