QUAD FELLOWSHIP

The Institute of International Education (IIE) is pleased to announce the application for the second cohort of the Quad Fellowship is now open to exceptional master’s and doctoral students in science and technology who demonstrate academic excellence, exceptional results in their field, and a desire to use their talents to promote collective good. The fellowship, initiated by the Quad countries of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, and administered by IIE, sponsors exceptional STEM master’s and doctoral students to study in the United States.  The reach of Quad Fellowship has expanded – the application, for the academic year 2024-2025 is now open to distinguished candidates from the four Quad countries of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, as well as candidates from the ten ASEAN countries of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

The Quad Fellowship is a first-of-its-kind fellowship designed to build ties among the next generation of scientists and technologists. It offers an unparalleled blend of financial support, cross-cultural exchange, and networking: 

·         A one-time stipend of US $40,000 for academic expenses

·         Networking opportunities with accomplished minds in STEM, government, and society

·         Multicultural alumni network dedicated to advancing innovation and research for positive social impact

The inaugural cohort of Quad Fellows is a diverse and dynamic array of scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians from the four Quad countries. More than 50% of our inaugural class identifies as women or non-binary and are currently studying across 49 distinct areas of specialization in STEM across the US. Earlier this week, Quad Fellows gathered at the White House to celebrate the successes of the first cohort and mark the launch of the second cycle.  

The application for the academic year 2024-2025 is now available on the Quad Fellowship website and will close on April 1, 2024, 5:00 PM ET. The website has further information on the application process, requirements, and eligibility criteria.

STEM Opportunity

Breakthrough Atlanta’s goal is to develop the next generation of teachers while increasing academic opportunities for Atlanta area students. We are looking for current undergraduate students to serve as our Teaching Fellows over the summer to provide a program to rising 7th through 10th grade students. 

Our application to be a Summer 2024 Teaching Fellow is open. Our regular decision deadline is February 29. We were hoping to connect with Education and STEM departments, as well as related student organizations at local colleges and universities to get the word out. We’d love to come and talk to any education and STEM professors, majors, or students interested in education who are looking for an opportunity for this summer.

The Hazel M. Johnson Fellowship Program

The Hazel M. Johnson Fellowship Program is a 10-week paid climate internship program that focuses on increasing opportunities for emerging leaders of color to learn about, engage with, and enter the environmental and climate sectors with adequate funding, mentorship, and community building. The Fellowship is designed to attract and support Black women and gender-expansive rising juniors, rising seniors, and recent college graduates with demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in the environmental and/or climate sectors. 

Our inaugural cohort will place 12-15 fellows at organizations within the U.S. working across a diverse set of sectors including (but not limited to): policy, clean energy, art, environmental justice, climate tech, and fashion. Black Girl Environmentalist will provide fellows: a $5,000 living & wellness stipend, weekly (virtual) professional development workshops, and an in-person end-of-summer retreat. Partner organizations will cover the fellow’s hourly wage and a modest program fee. I’ve attached an info document below.

SOM Foundation Structural Engineering Fellowship – Request for Student Candidates

In early January, the SOM Foundation will launch the call for submissions for the 2024 Structural Engineering Fellowship. This $20,000 fellowship is awarded annually to a graduating student based in the United States who specializes in structural engineering to conduct independent travel and research that contributes to a topic area, which this year is “Adapting Housing Strategies to Respond to New Realities.”

This prestigious fellowship has been given annually since 1998 and has been awarded to some of the most creative engineers from diverse university backgrounds, many of whom have gone on to make significant contributions to the profession. A list of past winners is available here.

Applicants must be graduating with a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, or PhD in civil and environmental engineering or architectural engineering with a specialization in structural engineering from a professionally accredited degree program in the United States. US citizenship is not required. Applicants must intend to enter the professional practice of structural engineering. 

While any student who meets the criteria may apply, we are contacting you before the open call is announced so that you may nominate your most promising students—those you believe deserve special recognition and the opportunity to broaden their education by traveling with an itinerary they have developed according to their academic interests. 

At this point, we ask for you to please reply to this message with names and email addresses for your student nominations, and we will follow up directly with them, encouraging them to apply and letting them know that they have been nominated by you to do so. A maximum of two nominees per department are allowed. 

More details about the fellowship and application requirements can be found on the SOM Foundation website here: https://somfoundation.com/awards/structural-engineering-fellowship/. Applications will be accepted once the announcement is made in January and the deadline to apply is Friday, March 15, 2024. Please provide the names and emails of one or two student nominees by February 1, 2024.

In addition, a poster about this opportunity is attached; kindly share with students and/or forward it along to administrative colleagues as needed.

This year’s jury will be led by Alessandro Beghini, Senior Associate Principal at SOM, San Francisco. A full list of jurors will be announced in January. Alessandro is cc’ed on this email, as well as SOM Foundation Executive Director, Iker Gil; we are happy to answer questions you may have.
