National Physical Science Consortium (NPSC) Fellowships

Deadline 11/05/2009

Description

The NPSC is offering two programs: 1. In the traditional fellowship, initial support may be for two or three years, or for a full six years, depending on the employer-sponsor. If the initial support is for the shorter period, it may be extended up to six years at the discretion of the employer. Students typically apply while seniors in college. 2. The Dissertation Support Program covers the period of dissertation research and defense, up to a maximum of four years.

Though the fields supported can vary annually depending on employer needs, in general NPSC covers the following: Astronomy, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Materials Science, Mathematical Sciences, Physics, and their subdisciplines, and related engineering fields: Chemical, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical.

The maximum duration is six years, in which case the overall value (allowance, tuition, fees, summer salary for two summers) of an NPSC fellowship typically well exceeds $200,000.
