Students who qualify for one of the fellowships should contact their graduate administrator in order to be considered for nomination.

The following symbols are used in the fellowship descriptions:

U.S. citizens are eligible
Permanent residents are eligible
Internationals are eligible

Nomination packets include the following for each new candidate:

A completed copy of the nomination form, preferably with an endorsement from the Department Head
A curriculum vitae (CV)

A brief (1-2 page) research summary from the student, or, for first-year students, a copy of the nominee’s “statement of objectives” from his or her application for admission
A brief (1-2 page) summary of current or past community involvement. The OGE highly values positive impact on the MIT community.

Green Fellowship)
