Microwave Engineering for Medical Applications Fellowship

Deadline: 10/15/2020

The purpose of these grants is to recognize and provide financial assistance to graduate students who show promise and interest in pursuing a graduate degree in applying microwave engineering to medical applications.

Eligible degrees may be in electrical engineering, applied physics, biomedical engineering or other appropriate field. The student must be engaged in research necessary for the degree program, not just course work. Research work must clearly involve the application of RF and microwave techniques to medical problems, supervised by a full-time faculty supervisor. It is expected that the student will be engaged in studies and research or thesis related activities for at least 12 months following the award.

Duration

At least 1 year

Funding

$6,000USD

Up to two $6,000 awards may be granted each year. The number to be presented will be determined and budgeted by MTT-S Administrative Committee yearly. The awards are presented at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS). Limited travel support is available to enable the winner(s) to attend the IMS.

If the student so chooses or is unable to attend the IMS, the monetary award can be deposited directly in the student‘s bank account. Any one student will be awarded this fellowship for a maximum of two years. The award is for the sole use of the graduate student. The award is granted in addition to any other support being received by the student.

Eligibility

The student must have a B.S./B.A. in engineering, applied physics, computer science or other appropriate field from an accredited institution of higher learning.

The student must be enrolled in an MS, Ph.D. or M.D. program as a full-time student in an accredited, degree granting institution of higher learning.

The student and faculty supervisor must be members of IEEE.

The student need not be a member of MTT-S at the time of application, but must be a member of MTT-S prior to receiving the award.

There are no restrictions as to student‘s citizenship or location of the institution.

A student can apply for either type of the Graduate Fellowships, but not both in the same year.

There is no limit to the number of applicants from one institution. However, only one award will be made per institution.

Students are permitted to compete for the award more than once.
