As a means of increasing the number of U.S. citizens and nationals trained in science and engineering disciplines of military importance, the Department of Defense (DoD) plans to award approximately 180 new The National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowships in April 2017. The fellowship is administered by the American Society for Engineering Education. The DoD will offer these fellowships to U.S. citizens and nationals who intend to pursue a doctoral degree for advanced training in science and engineering. NDSEG Fellowships will pay for full tuition and all mandatory fees, a monthly stipend, and up to $1,000 a year in medical insurance.
