The Jack Baskin School of Engineering is pleased to solicit applications
for two one-year Jack Baskin & Peggy Downes Baskin Fellowships.  These
awards are designed to enable an engineering PhD candidate to make swifter
progress on their dissertation research by offering one-year fellowship
support and in-state tuition remission in the amount of $38,248 (divided
among three academic quarters - this works out to be a $7,000 stipend per
quarter). We have two awards available for 2015-16.

To be eligible for the award, a student must:

   1. Have completed all PhD coursework (at the time of application).
   2. Be within normative time and in good academic standing.
