Graduate Fellowship
Department of Defense
Deadline: Early January
The Department of Defense (DoD) is committed
to increasing the number and quality of our
nation's scientists and engineers. Toward
that end, the DoD annually supports
approximately 8,000 graduate students in
fields important to national defense needs.
The DoD supports graduate students in a
number of ways. First and foremost is the
support of thousands of graduate students
who are members of research teams funded
through DoD contracts and grants. The
students, selected by the research faculty,
engage in fundamental studies under the
leadership of a senior researcher and
commensurately earn advanced degrees.
Usually, these students are supported wholly
by the DoD grant or contract.

The
Space Scholars Program invites
undergraduate, masters, and doctorate
students in the areas of science and
engineering to participate in a unique
summer program that may lead to graduate
fellowships and full-time employment. These
opportunities exist in the Air Force
Research Laboratory's (AFRL
 )
Space Vehicles Directorate
,
which has facilities at
Kirtland Air Force Base

The forte of
our Space Scholars Program
lies in the close interaction between the
student and one of the laboratory’s highly
regarded researchers. These researchers
function as a Mentor and offer close support
and guidance to the student carrying out the
research.
