Fellowships and funding

Fulton Schools fellowships for graduate students

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering offer a variety of fellowships to support our graduate students. For the previous academic year, we awarded nearly 400 highly competitive fellowships to master’s degree students.

We offer merit- and need-based awards that are funded by private donors, companies, community members, professional organizations, fees and the Fulton Schools.

Fellowships are available to new and continuing graduate students enrolled in Fulton Schools academic plan. New graduate students will have to be admitted into a Fulton Schools graduate program by the fellowship application deadline to be considered.

The deadline for the 2024–25 General Fellowship application has passed. The Graduate Fellowship application will re-open for the 2025-26 academic year on Feb. 1.
