SRC Fellowships and Scholarship Competition, Expiring February 15, 2011

The 2011-2012 SRC Global Research Collaboration (GRC) Fellowship and Scholarship Competition is still accepting applications.

All applications are due on February 15, 2011. Notifications will be made in April of 2011. Applications must be complete to be considered.

SRC offers doctoral fellowships and master's scholarships through the Global Research Collaboration (GRC) and one doctoral fellowship through the Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI), the SRC NRI/Hans J. Coufal Fellowship. The GRC Graduate Fellowship Program (GFP) is funded through GRC and the SRC Education Alliance and supports about 35 Fellowships each year. The GRC Master's Scholarship Program (MSP), targeting underrepresented minorities and women, is also funded through GRC and the SRC Education Alliance and supports about 12 Scholarships each year. Both the GFP and MSP include company-named awards currently supported by Advanced Micro Devices, Applied Materials, Freescale Semiconductor, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, IBM, Intel Foundation, NIST, Novellus Systems, and Texas Instruments.

The program is designed to attract students in underrepresented populations to graduate study in disciplines of interest to the semiconductor industry.  For additional information and application forms, visit http://www.src.org/student-center/fellowship/

NEW WITH THIS COMPETITION:
• Stipend for both the GFP and MSP will be $2,252/month beginning Fall 2011.
• Application materials must be RECEIVED (rather than postmarked) by February 15, 2011.

CRITERIA:
• US/permanent resident students
• Competition is open to students who are or will be pursuing a Master’s or Ph.D. degree under a GRC research contract and under the direction of GRC-designated faculty.
     • Fellowships:          
o Tenure is five years with the intention of ATTRACTING new students; GRC encourages faculty to   use the fellowships as a recruiting tool. However, qualified students with at least two years to completion of the PhD are also encouraged to apply.
o A limited number of fellowships will be awarded for one year to promising students just beginning graduate studies, but not having a clear GRC contract connection (e.g., students in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities program). If these students are able to connect to a GRC contract within the year, the fellowship will continue for the full tenure.
     • Scholarships:          
o Open to qualified students who are also women and/or members of underrepresented minority groups (African American, Hispanic, and Native American).
