Details --------------------------------------------------- SCHOLARSHIPS/FELLOWSHIPS --------------------------------------------------- The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) is dedicated to achieving equity and full participation for women in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. AWIS offers several undergraduate awards. About 5-10 undergraduate awards of $1,000 are given each year. In addition, Citations of Merit ($500) may be given. Details The Colleges of Science and College of Engineering are seeking nominations for the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. Application & Evaluation Process: 1. Advisors should submit names of student(s) they wish to nominate to OSU's Goldwater faculty representative, Dr. Kevin Ahern, by email (ahernk at onid.orst.edu) no later than December 1. Nominations should include the following information - student name(s), ID number, major, present year in school (sophomore or junior), number of years of research experience, OSU GPA, and email address. No formal letter is required for this phase - a simple emailed note will suffice. 2. Sophomore or junior students with 1) significant undergraduate research experience and 2) a cumulative OSU GPA above 3.80 will be contacted directly by Dr. Ahern with information on how to proceed with the requirements for the application process online and offline. Please note that a completed student application requires significant online and offline components and may take considerable time to assemble. To effectively compete nationally, students cannot have GPAs below 3.80 and for this reason, we will not consider them for awards no matter how much research experience they have. 3. All student online and offline application materials must be completed no later than January 8, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. College of Engineering applications including original offline materials must be submitted directly to SKIP ROCHEFORT in the CBEE office (Gleeson 103) in duplicate (previously we required triplicate). Failure to completely follow instructions or meet deadlines will result in the student not being considered further by the nominating committee. Students are responsible for contacting references early enough in the process that their letters can be submitted by the January 8 deadline. 4. A committee consisting of OSU faculty representatives from the Colleges of Science and Engineering will evaluate all applications completed successfully by the January 8 deadline and will forward the top four to the Goldwater Foundation for final consideration. It is worth noting that the Goldwater Web site (http://www.act.org/goldwater/) allows any student who registers there to submit an application. However, OSU students who wish to be considered must go through the process outlined above. Thus, only students nominated by an advisor or faculty member will be considered by OSU's selection committee for official nomination. Established by Congress in 1986, the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation operates an educational scholarship program designed to provide opportunities for outstanding U.S. students with excellent academic records and demonstrated interest in, and potential for, careers in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering. In the spring of 2010, the Foundation will award scholarships to students who will be college juniors or seniors during the 2010-2011 academic year. In order to be considered for an award, students must be nominated by their institution. The scholarship award covers eligible expenses up to a maximum of $7,500 per year. Junior scholarship recipients can expect to receive a maximum of two years of support. Senior scholarship recipients are eligible for a maximum of one year of support. To be eligible, a student must be a current full-time sophomore or junior and must be pursuing a baccalaureate degree, and be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or U.S. national, who will pursue a career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering. --------------------------------------------------- JOBS --------------------------------------------------- Did you know that you can subscribe to the EECS Jobs List that will send you e-mail when new jobs are posted?

Advisors should submit names of student(s) they wish to nominate to OSU's Goldwater faculty representative, Dr. Kevin Ahern, by email (ahernk at onid.orst.edu) no later than December 1. Nominations should include the following information - student name(s), ID number, major, present year in school (sophomore or junior), number of years of research experience, OSU GPA, and email address. No formal letter is required for this phase - a simple emailed note will suffice. 2. Sophomore or junior students with 1) significant undergraduate research experience and 2) a cumulative OSU GPA above 3.80 will be contacted directly by Dr. Ahern with information on how to proceed with the requirements for the application process online and offline. Please note that a completed student application requires significant online and offline components and may take considerable time to assemble. To effectively compete nationally, students cannot have GPAs below 3.80 and for this reason, we will not consider them for awards no matter how much research experience they have. 3. All student online and offline application materials must be completed no later than January 8, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. College of Engineering applications including original offline materials must be submitted directly to SKIP ROCHEFORT in the CBEE office (Gleeson 103) in duplicate (previously we required triplicate). Failure to completely follow instructions or meet deadlines will result in the student not being considered further by the nominating committee. Students are responsible for contacting references early enough in the process that their letters can be submitted by the January 8 deadline. 4. A committee consisting of OSU faculty representatives from the Colleges of Science and Engineering will evaluate all applications completed successfully by the January 8 deadline and will forward the top four to the Goldwater Foundation for final consideration. It is worth noting that the Goldwater Web site (http://www.act.org/goldwater/) allows any student who registers there to submit an application. However, OSU students who wish to be considered must go through the process outlined above. Thus, only students nominated by an advisor or faculty member will be considered by OSU's selection committee for official nomination. Established by Congress in 1986, the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation operates an educational scholarship program designed to provide opportunities for outstanding U.S. students with excellent academic records and demonstrated interest in, and potential for, careers in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering. In the spring of 2010, the Foundation will award scholarships to students who will be college juniors or seniors during the 2010-2011 academic year. In order to be considered for an award, students must be nominated by their institution. The scholarship award covers eligible expenses up to a maximum of $7,500 per year. Junior scholarship recipients can expect to receive a maximum of two years of support. Senior scholarship recipients are eligible for a maximum of one year of support. To be eligible, a student must be a current full-time sophomore or junior and must be pursuing a baccalaureate degree, and be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or U.S. national, who will pursue a career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering. --------------------------------------------------- JOBS --------------------------------------------------- Did you know that you can subscribe to the EECS Jobs List that will send you e-mail when new jobs are posted?
