Subject: New $50K Fellowships for STEM Graduate Education

*************************************

A new fellowship has been created between Quad partners Australia, India, Japan, and the United States that will provide $50,000 in funding for graduate studies in STEM at US graduate schools.

We are excited to announce that the Quad Fellowship will host an information session virtually solely for MIT students. This is the first year of their selection, so you will get the information early!

Monday, April 4th from 12:00-12:45pm
You can sign up for the event here: https://app.joinhandshake.com/edu/events/1016558

ABOUT THE AWARD
This award was created to build ties among the next generation of scientists and technologists.
This program will sponsor 100 exceptional American, Japanese, Australian, and Indian master’s and doctoral students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to study in the United States. The fellowship will develop a network of science and technology experts committed to advancing innovation and collaboration in the private, public, and academic sectors, in their own nations and among Quad countries.

The Quad Fellowship offers a unique combination of financial benefits, cross-cultural exchange, networking, and content programming. Each Quad Fellow will receive a one-time award of $50,000 which can be used for tuition, research, fees, books, room and board, and related academic expenses (e.g., registration fees, research-related travel). All Quad Fellows are eligible to apply for separate demonstrated needs-based funding of up to $25,000 to cover costs related to completing graduate-level studies.

Applicants must:

  *   Be at least 18 years of age at the time of application
  *   Be citizens or legal permanent residents of Australia, India, Japan, or the United States
  *   Have a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in a STEM field by August 2023
  *   Have a demonstrated record of superior academic achievement at the undergraduate level
  *   If applicants are currently enrolled in a Master's or PhD program, they may apply if they will be enrolled in a qualified academic program during their time as a Fellow (i.e., August 2023 - May 2024)

Cheers,
Kim
