AmericanScholarship - Update on Scholarships in America

The fellowships are available to all U.S. Citizens, but with an emphasis on recruitment of applications from historically underrepresented minorities and women for graduate study at selected institutions to earn a Ph.D. in the following fields: astronomy, chemistry, computer science, geology, materials science, mathematical sciences, physics, and subdisciplines within these fields. The fellowship offers a stipend of $16,000 for the first four years of study, then $15,000 for years five and six, plus two summers of paid employment (generally the summer before graduate study and the summer following the first year). Tuition is paid by the member university. Additional information and application materials are available on the Web at www.npsc.org. The application deadline is early November.
