For the US GEM Fellowship Program 2024–2025, applications are now being accepted. This program provides fully financed master’s and PhD student opportunities to study at highly regarded US institutes; it is open to US nationals and permanent residents. With an emphasis on subjects like product creation, research and development, and other cutting-edge technological sectors, the GEM fellowship links students with top scientific and engineering companies and universities around the country.
The master’s fellowship program seeks to emphasise the value of a master’s degree in the workplace. Through the help of an employer sponsor, GEM Fellows obtain real-world engineering job experience. In addition, they are awarded an academic year fellowship that covers tuition, fees, and a stipend that they can use at any participating GEM Member University. The initiative aims to assist minority students pursuing master’s or doctoral degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields and is available to practically all academic fields.
Underrepresented students can apply for the highly competitive GEM Fellowship, which offers financial support, professional development opportunities, and mentorship. It improves research abilities and provides direction to support fellows in achieving academic and research success. The GEM fellowship, which concentrates on underrepresented students, seeks to advance opportunities for minorities, assisting them in becoming outstanding scholars and knowledgeable representatives of their communities.
