National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship
https://www.asee.org/ndsegThe Department of Defense (DoD) is committed to increasing the number and quality of our nation's scientists and engineers. The DoD's support is evidenced in a number of ways. First and foremost, the DoD funds thousands of graduate students, who are members of research teams, through contracts and grants. Selected by research faculty, the students engage in fundamental studies under the leadership of a senior researcher while earning advanced degrees. These students are generally wholly supported by their DoD grant or contract. Another important mechanism for DoD support of graduate students is through portable fellowships awarded to U.S. citizens or nationals following a competition each year. These fellowships allow the recipients to pursue their graduate studies at whichever U.S. institution they choose to attend.

This 10 week intern program is designed to provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in research, under the guidance of an appropriate research mentor, at a participating Navy laboratory. For undergraduate students the stipend is $5,500 and for graduate students $6,500.
