ESE Faculty-led Nominations for ESE PhD Fellowships/Assistantships
Please get your nomination to me ASAP.

First round of evaluations for selection of recruitment fellowships will begin February 18, 2014


Fellowship Nominations for funding ESE accepted applicants (or those currently under review with complete or nearly complete applications) should include:

*         A brief letter of nomination from the potential advisor (<1 page) that includes a general statement indicating how you plan to support the student for three (3+1) or two (2+2)* additional years if for a fellowship, which can include other fellowships, research assistantships, teaching assistantships, or a combination thereof.

Please send your application material electronically to Linda S. Lee (lslee at purdue.edu<mailto:lslee at purdue.edu>) and cc Christal Musser (cmeinder at purdue.edu<mailto:cmeinder at purdue.edu>).


ESE has been allocated several fellowships (see below):

*         Five FY (12-mo) Lynn Fellowships (includes $18,282 towards first year stipend and grad med insurance (estimated at $1568/y), and fringe IF administered as an assistantship only (calculated as 0.0041*stipend) for new students to Purdue only (no students enrolled or graduated from Purdue)

*         One FY Academic Year Lynn Fellowship (similar to above but for the academic year only so contribution to stipend and insurance is $13,712)

*         One Purdue Doctoral Fellowship targeted for diversity recruiting ($18,212 per year for 2 years towards contribution to stipend, insurance, and towards first year stipend and grad med insurance (estimated at $1568/y), and fringe only IF administered as an assistantship only (calculated as 0.0041*stipend). We plan to target domestic diversity this year.

*         12-months of a Bilsland Dissertation Fellowship (for Purdue students who will be in the writing stage of their dissertation for the 2015-2016 academic year which must be administered as fall and spring semester awards (not summer only) or as a one-year award ($18,212 contribution to stipend and insurance assuming administered as a fellowship) so we could give partial to 2 students within these guidelines)

A few notes:

*         All the above have tuition waivers.

*         Most of you are familiar with how recruitment fellowships work at Purdue - the offer to the student is as a 4-year package; however, only the first (for the 1+3) or the first two years (2+2) are actually contributed to by the Grad School as part of the fellowship. The rest of the fellowship 'term' (4 total years) and supplements for the first 1 or 2 years (the minimum stipend provided by the GS is not competitive) must be provided by other sources. Essentially for each year that is actually paid for by the Grad School (so the first year for the 1+3 and the first 2 years of the 2+2) in addition to the standard fee waivers.

*         If your nomination is selected for award, you can choose to use grant or TA funds for the first year and the fellowship for year 2, etc., which can work well if you have grant or start-up money that will expire over the next year or so if not used..

*         Fellowships or assistantships can be supplemented. No stipend can fall below the grad school minimum of $16,714/y If you supplement there may be a difference between administering as a fellowship versus an assistantship in some colleges (e.g., when administered as an assistantship and given a supplement from a grant to meet your college's minimum stipend, your college may choose to charge you a similarly weighted portion of the tuition costs). This may not be the case anymore, but in the past there seem to be some confusion in this area. I will try to get this figured out, but did not want to hold up the request for nominations since it does not matter that much overall.

*         We must follow the guidelines in the GS Fellowship Manual:
