Registering for an account:

You will need to register for a new account before you will be able to start the application, even if you applied last year. We do not save previous year applicant information, including transcripts, reference letters and GRE scores. You will enter your name and email address and choose a password.

What you’ll need to complete the application:

• General GRE score from the last 5 years – You’ll need to contact ETS to have your scores sent to code 5140 (see below). Please note, ETS will report all of your scores from the last five years.
• Official, sealed transcripts from any graduate work as well as your undergraduate school(s) – These can be sent from the school directly to ASEE, or you can send them if they are in your possession
• Contact information for at least three references – They will be asked to fill out an online form and submit an electronic letter of reference
• Information on all your publications, presentations, patents, and patent applications
• Contact info for supervisors of Research, Leadership, and Teamwork Experiences, and any Community and Volunteer Work

GREs:

ETS has informed ASEE that applicants must sit for a GRE examination by November 1, 2012 to meet the NDSEG's application deadline of December 18, 2012 5:00 PM EST. ETS has also informed us that the last date you should request scores is 15 buisness days of processing time. Per this information, the last date you can order scores from ETS and expect that ASEE will receive them in time is November 23, 2012. Scores ordered after that date may still reach ASEE in-time for the application deadline, however, only ETS will be able to confirm this. Please contact ETS directly for more information about this process and to confirm whether your test scores will be received by NDSEG's application deadline of December 18, 2012 5:00 PM EST. 

You may contact ETS at http://www.gre.org or (609) 771-7670. The GRE code for ASEE is 5140 (with no department code).

Transcripts:

Do not wait for the fall semester's grades to come in before you send us transcripts; fall grades are not required. The deadline for all materials is December 18, 2012 5:00 PM EST and transcripts including the fall semester's grades do not reach us in time for the deadline. If your application is missing a required transcript, it will not be considered for an NDSEG Fellowship.You will need to send us your transcripts again, even if you sent them in last year.
