AUBURN ENGINEERING FELLOWSHIP ALLIANCE (AEFA)
The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, in support of the Honors College Office of National Prestigious Scholarships, has established the Auburn Engineering Fellowship Alliance (AEFA). The purpose of AEFA is to identify and assist Engineering majors, minors and graduate students in the pursuit of nationally competitive scholarships and awards such as the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (NSF GRFP), the DOD SMART Fellowship, the DOD NDSEG Fellowship, the NIH National Research Service Award, the NSTGRO, the NIST Measurement Science and Engineering Fellowship, as well as the Rhodes, Marshall, Gates-Cambridge, Fulbright and Goldwater Scholarships.
For a full list of available scholarship and fellowship opportunities, follow this link:
Many, but not all scholarships, require U.S. Citizenship. Furthermore, many, but not all scholarships, require a university endorsement. Finally, many but not all scholarships, will only fund graduate level (MS, PhD, or their equivalent) study and research.
These awards and fellowships are very competitive in nature, and AEFA is here to assist you in submitting competitive applications.
Leading the AEFA effort are Dr. Ed Davis (Department of Mechanical Engineering) ewd0001@auburn.edu, Dr. Russell Mailen rwmailen@auburn.edu (Department of Aerospace Engineering), and Dr. Paul Harris (paul.harris@auburn.edu Department of Political Science. You can also reach AEFA at AEFA@Auburn.edu.
