Fellowships

Graduate Fellowships

Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowships are highly competitive programs that build and enhance your professional skills and defray tuition costs. 

Graduate fellowships help you build skills and connections while making your master’s degree even more affordable.

Presidential Fellowship: The Presidential Fellowship provides full tuition remission (excluding fees), and an unpaid internship of up to 25 hours per week with a faculty member.  An in-person interview is required, as are exceptional leadership, academic, and communication skills.  Presidential Fellows must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits per semester to be eligible. 

Provost Fellowship: The Provost Fellowship provides half of a student’s graduate tuition. It includes a non-credit fellowship course and a 15 hour a week unpaid fellowship placement.

Fellowships seek to enrich professional qualifications and help advance career goals through valuable hands-on experience while providing significant scholarships for highly qualified graduate students.

How to Apply

To be considered for a graduate fellowship in any of our science and engineering degree programs, apply online and indicate your fellowship interest within your online application. Acceptance into the fellowship program is a competitive process. An interview is required (in-person or Skype), as are demonstrated leadership, academic, and communication skills. In addition to the materials required for traditional graduate admittance, the fellowship application may require additional documents.

Please note:

  • If you are offered and accept a fellowship position, you will not be eligible for any other discounts or scholarships, including a merit-based Dean scholarship or the Double Warrior alumni scholarship
  • When you apply for the fellowship, you are also automatically considered for the traditional degree program.
    If you are admitted into the traditional program but not offered a fellowship, you will automatically be considered for a Dean scholarship.
  • If you are originally awarded a scholarship and then are given a fellowship placement, you will no longer receive the merit scholarship. The fellowship will replace any other discounts.

Dean and Alumni Scholarships

Dean and Alumni Scholarships are available to students who are not receiving a fellowship.
