Mines is pleased to announce our participation in the national GEM Consortium. The GEM fellowship programs are designed to offer opportunities for underrepresented students to obtain M.S. degrees in engineering and Ph.D. degrees in engineering and the natural and physical sciences through a program of paid summer internships and graduate financial assistance.

Eligibility

Students must be from the following underrepresented groups: African American, Mexican American, American Indian, Puerto Rican American, and other Hispanic Americans. The applicants must be U.S. citizens at the time of application. Additional academic requirements can be found on the GEM website.

Financial Support

Both the M.S. engineering fellowship and the Ph.D. fellowships pay tuition, fees, and a stipend during the academic year. Fellows also receive a paid summer internship at a company sponsor site. These internships take place the summer prior to beginning the graduate program and may continue up to three summers.

Applications to the GEM Fellowship Program are due November 1. Visit the GEM website to learn more and submit an application.
