Creativity pays off for engineers
By PAMELA SPINGLER
Staff writer
An engineering student can get as much as $30,000 a year for graduate research from a new grant program from the National Science Foundation.
The program, "Creativity Awards in Graduate Engineering," is based on creative ideas more than on academic achievement, according to the foundation. It is designed to make graduate research more appealing to engineering undergraduates and recent graduates nationwide.
Carl Locke, dean of engineering said he became aware of the program last month. The program
would help students pay bills while dedicating their time to research, he said.
"it's sometimes difficult to find support at this level," he said yesterday.
The grant, which can be renewed twice, would pay for tuition, fees and student's research costs. It also allows students almost $1,000 a month for living expenses.
"The competition is going to be fierce." Locke said. "For the 30 grants they should have at least one hundred applica-
tions, if not more."
Students must submit to the foundation a letter that describes the proposed research in detail so
the selection committee can evaluate its technical merit.
Other factors in the selection process include three letters of recommendation and undergraduate training and education.
The program is open to any prospective graduate student in engineering who is a U.S. citizen. Engineering students already in graduate school are not eligible for the award.
Normally, NSF graduate awards are based on academic achievement, but the creativity awards will encourage students toward more creative research ideas, the NSF said.
