As a means of increasing the number of U.S. citizens and nationals trained in science and engineering disciplines of military importance, the Department of Defense (DoD) plans to award approximately 200 new three-year graduate fellowships in April 2011, subject to the availability of funds. The DoD will offer these fellowships to individuals who have demonstrated ability and special aptitude for advanced training in science and engineering.

“My NDSEG fellowship has been immensely helpful to me as a graduate student. The prestige associated with the award helped me stand out as an applicant to various programs. The funding itself helped me get my foot in the door of research groups doing the work I'm most passionate about. The freedom of having one's own funding is priceless.”
