[Scholarship_alert] NSF-SDSU Science technology Engineering & Mathematics Scholarships

[Engineering Scholarships Alert]

Dear Student,

The Computational Science Research Center at SDSU was recently 
awarded a grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to provide 
scholarships to  undergraduate students in science and engineering to 
engage them in computational research projects.  This NSF-SDSU STEM 
(Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) Scholars Program 
will provide yearly scholarships up to $5000 for juniors entering the 
program and $6000 for seniors who continue participating in the 
program during the second year.  The goal of this scholarship is to 
assist academically talented, financially needy students to explore 
opportunities for computational modeling and simulation research in 
science and engineering disciplines. This year we plan to award 30 
scholarships  to science and engineering students who are in the 
junior or senior years and are interested in future graduate studies.

Participation in this scholarship program will provide students the 
opportunity to join a research lab and get trained to use and develop 
computational tools in their respective disciplines. Participants get 
to contribute to ongoing research projects, while acquiring essential 
skills that can make them high qualified attractive candidates for 
future research careers in academia, national labs and industry. 
Students participating in the NSF-SDSU STEM Scholars Program also 
will get career development counselling, assistance in developing a 
portfolio to apply to graduate programs,  help in locating and 
applying for national scholarships and internships in government labs.

To qualify, students must be U. S. citizens or permanent residents, 
must meet the criterion of financial need as determined by the U.S. 
Department of Education, must be juniors or seniors in science or 
engineering disciplines, have a GPA of 3.0 or better.
