IEEE CSC Graduate Study Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity

Description
The IEEE Council on Superconductivity Graduate Study Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity is awarded annually to full-time graduate students pursuing a PhD (or equivalent) degree in the area of applied superconductivity, at an accredited college or university of recognized standing worldwide. The intention of the award is to encourage students to enter and contribute to the field of applied superconductivity.

To be eligible, the recipient must be pursuing full-time graduate work at an accredited college/university and pursuing, or planning to pursue, research activities in applied superconductivity. The applicant must have majored in engineering, materials, chemistry, physics or a related area and have received a Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent from an accredited college/university of recognized standing worldwide. Applicants must submit certified transcripts from all colleges/universities attended and three letters of recommendation from college/university professors familiar with the applicant’s work. Fellowship recipients will be selected based upon the quality of their prior work, the impact of their current research or the impact of their potential research in superconductivity, and their financial need. An effort will be made to distribute the Fellowships equally across the electronics, materials and large-scale areas of superconductivity. The CSC Graduate Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity can be awarded to an individual no more than two times.
