Goldwater Scholarship
Description:
The Barry M.
Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was established by
Congress in 1986 to honor Senator Barry M. Goldwater, who served his country for
56 years as a soldier and statesman, including 30 years of service in the U.S.
Senate. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide a continuing source of
highly qualified scientists, mathematicians, and engineers by awarding
scholarships to college students who intend to pursue careers in these fields.
The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and
Excellence in Education Foundation fosters, encourages, and rewards math,
science, and engineering majors of outstanding potential with support for the
completion of their undergraduate studies. Each
scholarship covers eligible expenses for undergraduate tuition, fees,
books, and room and board, up to a maximum of $7,500 annually. Scholarship
monies not used during one academic year are not transferable to the succeeding
academic year. Junior-level scholarship recipients are eligible for a maximum of
two years of scholarship support, and senior-level scholarship recipients are
eligible for a maximum of one year of scholarship support.
Hertz Foundation Fellowships
Description: The Hertz
Foundation's Graduate Fellowship award, which is based on merit, not need,
consists of a cost-of-education allowance and a personal-support stipend to
students of applied physical sciences. The
cost-of-education allowance is accepted by all of the tenable schools in lieu of
all fees and tuition. Hertz Fellows therefore have no liability for any ordinary
educational costs, regardless of their choice among tenable schools. The
personal stipend, paid over the nine-month academic year, is $28,000 for the
academic year, renewable for up to 5 years, or $33,000 for the academic year,
renewable for up to two years (upon a showing of satisfactory progress toward
receipt of the Ph.D. degree). Fellows must attend one of the Foundation's
tenable schools.
Lucent Technologies-Bell Laboratories Graduate Research Fellowship Program (BLGRFP) for Women and Minorities
Description:
The Bell Labs
Graduate Research Fellowship Program is designed to increase the number of
minorities and women in the fields of science, math, engineering and technology.
A Bell Labs Graduate Research Fellowship is a wonderful opportunity to help
outstanding minorities and women enhance their knowledge and to pursue a PH.D.
degree in science and engineering. A maximum of ten fellowships may be awarded
each year. The Fellowship provides full tuition to any appropriate, accredited,
nonprofit United States institution of higher education offering advanced
degrees in science, mathematics or engineering. An annual stipend of $25,000
which can be used for living expenses, books, and travel to conferences.
Fellowships will be renewed on a yearly basis for up to four years of graduate
study, subject to the participant's satisfactory progress toward the doctoral
degree

Description:
Several different
fellowship award mechanisms are available to individuals at various stages of
their education and scientific career who desire further research training and
career development in hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, and
language. In addition, opportunities are available to institutions that wish to
offer research traineeships to predoctoral and/or postdoctoral individuals.
The predoctoral training support is awarded
to doctoral candidates that have successfully completed their comprehensive

dissertation research and training.
NIH Undergraduate Scholarship Program

National Physical Science Consortium (NPSC) Graduate Fellowships in the Physical Sciences
Description: NPSC offers a
unique graduate fellowship in the physical sciences and related engineering
fields. It is open to all U. S. Citizens, but with emphasis on recruitment of
applications from historically underrepresented minorities and women. An NPSC
Fellowship covers the first two or three years of graduate school, depending on
the employer who sponsors the fellowship, with the possibility of continuation
for several more years providing all the conditions of the fellowship continue
to be met. The maximum duration is six years, in which case the overall value
(stipend, tuition, fees, summer salary for two summers) of an NPSC fellowship
typically well exceeds $200,000.
National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships
Description: The purpose of the National Science Foundation's Graduate
Research Fellowship Program is to ensure the vitality of the human resource base
of science and engineering in the United States and to reinforce its diversity.
The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in the
relevant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are
pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees, including women in
engineering and computer and information science. NSF Fellows are expected to
become knowledge experts who can contribute significantly to research, teaching,
and innovations in science and engineering. So that the nation can build fully
upon the strength and creativity of a diverse society, the Foundation welcomes
applications from all qualified individuals and strongly encourages women,
minorities, and persons with disabilities to compete fully in this program. The
National Science Foundation awards 1000 three-year graduate fellowships for
study and research in the sciences, mathematics, physics, biology, social
sciences, engineering, and the history and philosophy of science.
