Upcoming scholarships:
Eric Hurwitt, Directing Manager of the Science, Mathematics & Research for Transformation scholarship program, will be on campus to discuss the SMART Scholarship on Tuesday, October 18. The talk will be at 5 PM in Florence Schneider Hall (attendees must present a WKU ID to enter). The SMART Scholarship pays for tuition and education-related fees and provides a stipend of $25,000 - $41,000, depending on prior educational experience, paid summer internships, a health insurance reimbursement allowance, and employment after graduation in a government lab. Undergraduate and graduate students in the STEM fields are eligible to apply.
Also, the field deadlines for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship are rapidly approaching. NSF Graduate Research Fellows receive a three-year annual stipend of $30,000. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, plan to pursue a research-focused graduate degree, and be seniors or first-year graduate students. The NSF awards 2,000 of these fellowships annually.
