Georgia Tech Institute Fellowship. 1 available @ USD 12,000

The Georgia Tech Institute Fellowship is Georgia Tech's most prestigious fellowship for graduate students. It is intended to aid departments in making competitive offers to the most highly sought U.S. or permanent resident doctoral applicants.

The GTIF provides

• A supplement to an assistantship or other major fellowship the student is awarded.

• Is renewable for up to three additional years for a total of 12 semesters.

• The GTIF stipend is $12,000 per year

• Provides a travel/professional development fund of up to $2,000 per award year.

• Pays any tuition and fees not covered by the student's other fellowship(s) or assistantship.

• A student may not have both the PF and the GTIF. Consideration may be given to cross-disciplinary applicants (e.g. ACO, BINF, BIOE) technically housed in another college. Applicants who will reside at GT-Savannah or GT-Lorraine and are otherwise eligible may be awarded a GTIF.

Students offered GTIFs must meet the following criteria:

• be applicants for a GT doctoral program (not applicants for a master's program who declare doctoral intentions unless that is the only way a student without a master's degree may be admitted to that department);

• be U.S. citizens or permanent residents;

• have a major fellowship or the offer of an assistantship competitive with other students in the department;

• be at the top ten percent of the applicant pool.

• Recipients must enroll as a full time student to be eligible for disbursement each semester

• A student may not have both the PF and the GTIF. Consideration may be given to cross-disciplinary applicants (e.g. ACO, BINF, BIOE) technically housed in another college. Applicants who will reside at GT-Savannah or GT-Lorraine and are otherwise eligible may be awarded a GTIF.

President's Fellowships. 0 available @ USD 5,500

President's Fellowships were established in 1973 to enhance the scope and quality of Georgia Tech's Ph.D. Programs. Through the continued support of the Georgia Tech Foundation, President's Fellowships are offered annually to a select number of highly qualified U.S. nationals or permanent residents who intend to pursue doctoral degrees. Fellowship recipients bring exemplary levels of scholarship and innovation to the academic departments who host their study and research. In turn, the fellowship program assists these students in preparing themselves with a minimum of delay for outstanding careers in the disciplines of their choice.

Competition is keen for these awards. Selections are based on each student's application, transcripts, biographical sketch, letters of recommendation, standardized test scores, and educational goals. Awards are usually made for Fall entry, but may be made throughout the year.

President's Fellowships are supplements to other assistantship or fellowship awards. The award provides an additional stipend of $5,500 for 12 months of full-time enrollment. Recipients of national fellowships may be offered President's Fellowships if allowed by the national fellowship. The award is renewable for three additional years (for a total of twelve semesters), based upon the major school's evaluation of the student's academic performance, research potential and progress towards the doctoral degree.
