The Office for Diversity Programs is continually working to identify funding, research and professional development opportunities that advance LSU engineering graduate students.
We now have the LSU Engineering Fellowship Awards Network (LEFAN) to help. Please submit your profile so we can keep you informed! The LEFAN profile link.
Below are some resource links.
LSU College of Engineering Funding Sources
Board of Regents Ph.D. Fellowships (up to 3 to be awarded): An award to the College of Engineering from the Board of Regents of $30,000 & a $5,000 supplement from the student’s home department for a total award of $35,000 per year for four years. The applicant must be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident planning to enroll in one of the College’s engineering programs. The requested Fellowships are focused in four overlapping areas that all relate to economic development: 1) energy (broad energy platform and environment, 2) coastal and ecological engineering, 3) materials science and engineering and 4) infrastructure (natural and built). These awards are for entering graduate students only – not those currently enrolled. Those applying for the Ph.D. Fellowship must already hold a M.S. degree or will have received a M.S. degree before the start of the Fellowship. Additional details are in the application material. Application deadline is currently closed.
Ph.D. Graduate Assistantship Supplement Funded from the Donald W. Clayton Endowment. The stipends may vary from $10,000 to $20,000 a year, depending on the student’s year in the degree program and the funds available. The recipient should be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident enrolled or coming into an engineering Ph.D. program and desirous of entering the teaching profession. Please submit your application packet in hardcopy as well as electronically to Dr. Kelly A. Rusch (krusch@lsu.edu). Applications are currently closed.
Funding Sources Outside of LSU
IIASA’s annual 3-month Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) offers research opportunities to talented young researchers (doctoral students) whose interests correspond with IIASA’s ongoing research on issues of global environmental, economic and social change. From June through August accepted participants work within the Institute’s Research Programs under the guidance of IIASA scientific staff.
American Society of Engineering Education Conference Grant for graduate students who are/will pursue a career in engineering education.
AAAS Fellowship for people who will receive their Ph.D. in the next year or who are post-doctorate.
EPA Science To Achieve Results (STAR) Fellowships closed Plan for next year.
Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowships
