The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) has established the DOE Office of Science Graduate Fellowship ( DOE SCGF) program to support outstanding students to pursue graduate training in basic research in areas of physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, computational sciences, and environmental sciences relevant to the Office of Science and to encourage the development of the next generation scientific and technical talent in the U.S.
The Fellowship award provides partial tuition support, an annual stipend for living expenses, and a research stipend for full-time graduate study and thesis/dissertation research at a U.S. academic institution for three years.
For all the readers about to enter graduate school or who have just arrived, there is good news and there is bad news.
Bad news - - You missed the first call for applications. You will have to wait till next year.
Good news - - I attended a BESAC (Basic Energy Science Advisory Committee) Lecture on the new fellowship program. For the first cycle, they are awarding 160 fellowships and had expected 10,000 applications. This would have been a pretty challenging success rate of 1.6%. However, they only received 3,000 applications - which should give success rate over 5%. If this stays below the radar next year, your chances should stay pretty good.
