Dear CIGP Faculty,

We invite you to submit nominations for Lynn Fellowships for the Fall-2025 admission cycle to your departmental CIGP Representative. Each departmental CIGP Representative may submit up to three (3) nominations (in rank order) by 5pm, Monday, January 20, 2025, to CIGP, using a Qualtrics link – which will be sent to the main departmental CIGP Representatives separately.

Four Lynn Fellowships are available for Computational Interdisciplinary Graduate Program for the 2025-2026 academic year. Lynn Fellowships are meant to attract graduate students who can make the greatest contributions to our doctoral programs and should be made to students who are not already enrolled in a Purdue West Lafayette graduate program. Each fellowship provides a four-year award package to the fellow. The Lynn Fellowship, administered as an assistantship, provides tuition coverage and a medical insurance supplement.


  *   Stipend/Salary is set by the department - minimum stipend of $28,000.00/year, but can be supplemented by departmental funds to standard rate for that department.
  *   An annual medical insurance premium contribution which pays a portion of the Graduate Staff Insurance, the value of which is currently estimated at $1,883.99/year.
  *   A graduate tuition remission, currently valued at $35,650.00 annually, is provided to cover tuition costs.
  *   Lynn Fellowship offers must be supplemented by three additional years of support from the department after the first year of support of the Lynn Fellowship.

NOMINATION REQUREMENTS:

  1.  CIGP Lynn Fellowship nominees must be an applicant for a doctoral degree program joining Purdue University in Fall 2025 or Spring 2026 (continuing Purdue students arenot eligible for this fellowship).
  2.  All nominations must come through the CIGP (CSE or CLS) Representative:

https://www.purdue.edu/academics/ogsps/cigp/about/faculty/cse.php
https://www.purdue.edu/academics/ogsps/cigp/about/faculty/cls.php

  1.  Nominations are limited to three (3) per department - If more than one student is nominated, the department representative should provide a ranked list. A very short description (3-5 sentences) of each student's strength along with their potential in Computational Interdisciplinary research should be provided.
  2.  The nomination must be submitted using Qualtrics. The representative must provide their name, the student’s name, application identification number, and the short description(s).

Other Information:

  *   The student’s application does not have to be included in the nomination but will be accessed by CIGP from the graduate school applications database.
  *   CIGP Lynn reviews committee will evaluate nomination packets and announce the awardees by mid-February or earlier.
  *   CIGP Lynn offer letters will be communicated to the Department Head, CIGP Representative and the Graduate Contact first. Once the Department Head approves the funding package (additional 3 years of support) by email, then the CIGP Office will write and send the offer to the student. A Lynn Fellowship template will be provided.

Offer Process and Assessment guidelines:

  *   Assessment of students will be based on academic record, research experience and potential for contributions to computational advancements in their field of study. We encourage the nomination of students aligning with Purdue University’s commitment to creating and sustaining an inclusive and diverse community in computational sciences.
  *   Holding multiple internal fellowships is discouraged by the Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars (OGSPS). Students who have been offered other Purdue fellowships (Ross, Andrews, Chappelle and Doctoral) may not be nominated for a Lynn fellowship. Stacking of internal fellowships towards one student is not an effective strategy because the yield rate from offers is low. However, OGSPS provides that multiple awards may in some cases be blended over time to provide longer-term fellowship support. For example, a student with both an external and a Purdue fellowship may defer all or part of the Purdue fellowship so as to increase his/her fellowship support beyond one year. Cases of this nature will be addressed on an ad hoc basis.

DEADLINE:
Nominations must be submitted only by the CIGP representatives through Qualtrics and are due by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, January 20th, 2025.

If you have any questions, please contact Samantha Brillembourg (smherrin at purdue.edu<mailto:smherrin at purdue.edu>), Program Specialist for CIGP.

Sincerely,
Sam
