The National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship program is sponsored by the Department of Defense with the goal of providing the United States with talented, doctorally trained American men and women who will lead state of the art research projects in disciplines having the greatest payoff to national defense requirements.

The Fellowships are awards conferring high honors upon the recipients, three years of full support in pursuit of a doctoral
degree in disciplines of military importance in science and engineering, and are portable, allowing the recipients to pursue their graduate studies at whatever U.S. institution they choose to attend.

The 2012 NDSEG Fellowship competition will award approximately 200 new three-year graduate fellowships in April 2012. Fellows beginning tenure in 2012 receive a $30,500 annual stipend, $1,000 annual health insurance allowance, and full tuition and fees. NDSEG Fellows do not incur any military or other service obligation. The NDSEG program is open only to U.S. citizens and nationals, and is intended for students at or near the beginning of their graduate studies who intend to pursue their Ph.D. The application deadline is December 16, 2011.
