Sponsored by the US Department of Energy's Office of Science and National Nuclear Security Administration, the Computational Science Graduate Fellowship is designed to offer support to exceptionally promising graduate students in the sciences and engineering whose work employs high-performance computing. Possible study areas include, but are not limited to, Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Environmental Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, and Physics. If the fellowship is accepted, recipients must promise not to perform support activities (i.e. grade, teach, etc) while on the Fellowship. S/he must also attend a yearly meeting of Fellows held in the summer each year in Washington DC.
