U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF SCIENCE GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM



DEADLINE:  JANUARY 3, 2012 (for awards beginning in Fall 2012)



http://scgf.orau.gov/



The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) established the

DOE Office of Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE SCGF) program in 2009 to

support outstanding students to pursue graduate training in fundamental

research in areas of physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics,

engineering, computer and computational sciences, and environmental

sciences and to encourage the development of the next generation

scientific and technical talent in the U.S.



The DOE SCGF is a three-year award, providing partial tuition support,

an annual stipend for living expenses, and a research allowance for

full-time graduate study and thesis/dissertation research at a U.S.

academic institution. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and either a

first or second year graduate student, or an undergraduate senior at the

time of applying, and must be pursuing or plan to pursue graduate study

and research in areas relevant to the science programs supported by the

DOE Office of Science. Applications are subject to rigorous peer review

by external experts based on established merit review criteria.



Interested students should carefully review eligibility requirements,

accepted fields, and FAQs at the web site:  http://scgf.orau.gov/



The Director of Graduate Fellowships is available to provide support to

students applying to this award, as well as to their faculty mentors.

Candidates are encouraged to start working on their applications ASAP,

as assembling the various components of the application package can take

several weeks and the due date immediately after the winter holidays

means that letters of recommendation and other supporting documents must

be coordinated well in advance.
