OBJECTIVES:
  The sponsor provides three Fellowship Programs:

  MS Engineering Fellowship Program: The objective of this program is
to promote the benefits of a masters degree within industry.  Fellows
are provided practical engineering summer work experiences through an
employer sponsor and a portable academic year fellowship of tuition,
fees, and a stipend which may be used at any participating University
where the Fellow is admitted.

  Ph.D. Engineering Fellowship Program:  The objective of this
program is to offer doctoral fellowships to underrepresented minority
students who have either completed or are currently enrolled in a
master's in engineering program. Fellowships may be used at any
participating University where the Fellow is admitted.

  Ph.D. Science Fellowship Program: The goal of this program is to
increase the number of minority students who pursue doctoral degrees
in the natural science disciplines: chemistry, physics, earth
sciences, mathematics, biological sciences, and computer science.
Fellowships offered through this program are portable and may be used
at any participating University where the Fellow is admitted.

ELIGIBILITY
  Candidates are selected from the following under-represented
minority groups: American Indian/Native, African American/Black, or
Hispanic American/Latino.  The applicant must be a U.S. citizen at the
time of application.  MS Engineering Program Applicants must be a
junior, senior, or graduate of an accredited engineering or computer
science program at the time of application, and must have a minimum
cumulative grade point average of 2.8/4.0. Ph.D. Program Applicants
must be a senior, masters student, or graduate of an accredited
engineering or applied science program at the time of application; and
must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0/4.0.  MS Fellows are
required to intern for a GEM Employer Member the summer immediately
following selection up until the M.S. requirements are completed.
Ph.D. fellows are required to intern once for a GEM Employer Member
the summer immediately following selection. Fellowships offered
through this program are portable and may be used at any participating
GEM Member University where the GEM Fellow is admitted.  A listing of
GEM member universities is available from the sponsor's web site.

FUNDING
  MS Engineering Fellows receive: a $10,000 stipend over 3 semesters
/ four quarters; a minimum of two paid summer internships with a GEM
Employer Member; and full tuition and fees at a GEM Member
University.

   For Ph.D. Engineering Fellows, the sponsor pays the stipend and a
cost of instruction grant to the institution where the fellow is
enrolled during the first academic year of doctoral study. Thereafter,
the total fellowship cost is borne by the participating University.
Fellows are provided a practical summer work experience through the
Employer Member for at least one summer.

   Ph.D. Science Fellows receive: a $14,000 stipend in the first year
of the PhD program; Member University support for the second through
fifth years, equivalent to other funded doctorate students in the
department; a minimum of one paid summer internship with a GEM
Employer Member; and full tuition and fees at a GEM Member University.
