Fellowship Opportunities
Many SHIP students will be considering PhD graduate programs. A good way to get into the program of your choice is to have your own fellowship. You did it once -getting into SHIP- so why not give it another try?
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Fellowship is given to about 2000 grad-school bound students each year. The application can be done online and is not difficult -- a few short sections, plus an unofficial transcript, which you can get online from WESS.
The award is substantial - free grad school plus $30K per year stipend while you study. Your mentor and the SHIP director should both be happy to write your recommendation letters, which are due by the end of November.
