OBJECTIVES: <br>
The sponsor provides three Fellowship Programs:<br><br>
MS Engineering Fellowship Program: The objective of this program
is<br>
to promote the benefits of a masters degree within industry.
Fellows<br>
are provided practical engineering summer work experiences through
an<br>
employer sponsor and a portable academic year fellowship of tuition,<br>
fees, and a stipend which may be used at any participating
University<br>
where the Fellow is admitted. <br><br>
Ph.D. Engineering Fellowship Program: The objective of
this<br>
program is to offer doctoral fellowships to underrepresented
minority<br>
students who have either completed or are currently enrolled in a<br>
master's in engineering program. Fellowships may be used at any<br>
participating University where the Fellow is admitted. <br><br>
Ph.D. Science Fellowship Program: The goal of this program is
to<br>
increase the number of minority students who pursue doctoral degrees<br>
in the natural science disciplines: chemistry, physics, earth<br>
sciences, mathematics, biological sciences, and computer science.<br>
Fellowships offered through this program are portable and may be
used<br>
at any participating University where the Fellow is admitted. <br><br>
ELIGIBILITY<br>
Candidates are selected from the following under-represented<br>
minority groups: American Indian/Native, African American/Black, or<br>
Hispanic American/Latino. The applicant must be a U.S. citizen at
the<br>
time of application. MS Engineering Program Applicants must be
a<br>
junior, senior, or graduate of an accredited engineering or computer<br>
science program at the time of application, and must have a minimum<br>
cumulative grade point average of 2.8/4.0. Ph.D. Program Applicants<br>
must be a senior, masters student, or graduate of an accredited<br>
engineering or applied science program at the time of application;
and<br>
must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0/4.0. MS Fellows
are<br>
required to intern for a GEM Employer Member the summer immediately<br>
following selection up until the M.S. requirements are completed.<br>
Ph.D. fellows are required to intern once for a GEM Employer Member<br>
the summer immediately following selection. Fellowships offered<br>
through this program are portable and may be used at any
participating<br>
GEM Member University where the GEM Fellow is admitted. A listing
of<br>
GEM member universities is available from the sponsor's web site.
<br><br>

MS Engineering Fellows receive: a $10,000 stipend over 3
semesters<br>
/ four quarters; a minimum of two paid summer internships with a GEM<br>
