The Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship (MLEF) Program provides students with educational opportunities to gain real-world, hands-on research experience with the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy. The MLEF program was created in 1995 with the goal of improving opportunities for under-represented and minority students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. All eligible candidates are encouraged to apply. The mission of the MLEF program is to strengthen a diverse pipeline of future STEM professionals, and this program has mentored several hundred of the best and brightest students from across the nation for future careers in STEM. As a MLEF participant, you will train under the mentorship of scientists and engineers while working on mission-focused research projects. During the 10-week appointment, you will receive a weekly stipend and may be eligible for housing and travel allowances. You will also gain insight into how the Department of Energy is working to meet the energy challenges of the future.
Applications must be submitted by January 12, 2019.

The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship seeks to attract talented,
committed individuals with backgrounds in the STEM fields—science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics—into teaching in high-need
secondary schools in Pennsylvania.
The Fellowship has also prepared over a thousand teachers in Georgia,
Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, and Ohio. Eligible applicants include
current undergraduates, recent college graduates, midcareer
professionals, and retirees who have majored in, or have extensively
studied, one or more of the STEM fields.
The Fellowship also works to change the way top teachers are prepared, partnering with colleges and universities that have agreed to provide Fellows with innovative, year-long classroom experiences, rigorous academic work, and ongoing mentoring.
There are three application deadlines for the 2020 Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship: October 15, 2019, December 3, 2019, and January 30, 2020.
Ideal for SUNY students and early career faculty researchers:
Explore and interview on-the-spot for competitive internship and fellowship opportunities in leading edge research programs at New York’s nationally-acclaimed federal laboratories.
Discover and connect with scientific mentors for research and scholarly projects.
Network with R&D leaders and identify opportunities for research collaboration and access to cutting-edge R&D facilities.
SUNY Lab Days will take place at Stony Brook University on October 10, 2019 and at the SUNY Polytechnic Institute (Utica) on October 17, 2019 from 4 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Over the past 10 years, AAUW Buffalo Branch has assisted deserving women with over $600,000 in local scholarships, loans, and grants and over $200,000 in national fellowships. In 2019, AAUW Buffalo Branch awarded over $35,000 in scholarships and loans.

Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) Workshops
for First Year PhD Students and Rising Seniors
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards
three-year scholarships for graduate study in mathematical, physical,
biological, engineering, and behavioral and social sciences, including the
history of science. This fellowship carries a stipend of $32,000 per year plus
a cost of education allowance to cover tuition and fees for three years. This
is a significant graduate fellowship that affords students the freedom to focus
on their research and lessen the time to degree completion.
To qualify,
applicants must be U.S. citizens, have U.S. national status or be permanent
residents, and intend to pursue a research-based master’s or PhD program in an
NSF-supported field. Applications become available in August and the deadlines
vary by discipline but are generally in late October and early November.
You will learn
about review criteria for the NSF GRFP and other awards, what the review panels
are looking for and how to write a strong research proposal.
