The global population of 6.7
billion is expected to reach 9-10 billion during this
century. The impacts of population growth and resources
over-consumption combined with natural system limits related
to freshwater availability have long been understood as a
few of the grand challenges to mutually advancing
environmental, economic, and societal goals.
To help meet these challenges, the National Science
Foundation awarded Michigan Tech an S-STEM Grant. Michigan
Tech's S-STEM Program provides need-based scholarships to
qualified U.S. graduate students enrolled in the following
degree programs: - Ph.D. Program in:
- Environmental Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Peace Corps Master's
International M.S. in
- Environmental Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- MS Program in:
-
Environmental Engineering
-
Environmental Engineering Science
- Civil Engineering

In addition to support in the
form of scholarships, this program provides travel,
mentoring, and partnering opportunities amongst students and
faculty to develop a framework and tools in
sustainability-related coursework and research activities
for building social, economic, and environmental capital at
a local level in communities world-wide.
Scholarship amounts will depend on satisfactory completion
of application materials, meritorious academic performance,
financial need, and availability of funds. Scholarships will
not exceed $10,000 annually for the 2008-12 academic years.
Qualified MS students will typically be awarded scholarships
in their first year only, and these awards will typically be between $5,000 - $10,000, depending on need and availability of funds. Qualified PhD students may
receive scholarships up to four times. This funding can be combined with other forms of graduate support.  |
