4. 2017 NDSEG Fellowship for STEM Students
My name is Rachel Levitin and I am the Program Manager for the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship Program based in Washington, D.C. From its inception, the goal of this program has been to increase the number of STEM professionals in the U.S. workforce.
The NDSEG Fellowship Program is a three-year funding opportunity for students in or near the beginning stages of their overall graduate study and it is meant for students who plan to pursue research-based doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines.
The program provides awarded fellows with:
• 36 months of full tuition and mandatory fee coverage at any accredited U.S. institution;
• A $1,000 medical health insurance allowance per each year of the three-year program tenure;
• And $102,000.00 in stipend payments over three years.
Students can start applying to the program as early as their undergraduate senior year and as late as the start of their third year of overall graduate study.
The reason we are getting in touch with you today is because we would like to introduce this fellowship opportunity to you and your colleagues.
This year’s deadline for a 2017 award is December 9 at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
If this is of interest to you or your colleagues, please let us know! We're happy to answer any and all questions related to the program.
Additionally – if you or colleagues at your institution are eligible and interested, panelist registration for the 2017 NDSEG Digital Application Evaluation is now open at https://ndseg.asee.org/panelists. This year’s evaluation panel will be held digitally throughout the month of January 2017. For more information, please contact our team directly.
Our team can be reached at NDSEG@asee.org or at (202) 649 – 3831

7. CPConnect Project Funding Opportunity
The Cal Poly Interdisciplinary Projects Program (CPConnect) facilitates donor sponsored interdisciplinary projects for faculty and students. Our mission is to provide a link between donors and resources that are available at Cal Poly to ensure that projects are properly funded and have the technical expertise required for completion. All projects that enable students to explore the integration of technologies to solve problems will be considered. Proposals can include funding for equipment, materials/supplies, and travel to conferences, competitions, and project sponsors. The typical range for requested funds should be in the $500 to $5,000 range. We anticipate funding 5-10 projects each quarter. For more details, see the attached Request for Project Proposals, or go to the CPConnect website at https://cpconnect.calpoly.edu/. Please note that proposals must be submitted using the "Proposal Template”, which can be found on the CPConnect website. Applications are due October 31st.
