OGE Administered Fellowships
Many fellowships that MAS students apply to are administered through the Office of Graduate Education. Please see below for more information about this process:
1. Once OGE releases the call for nominations, MAS will email students and/or faculty to collect names of students who are interested in being nominated.
2. The MAS leadership team selects the nominee(s) they would like to nominate.
3. Nominee(s) are contacted by MAS with a list of application materials they will need to compile.
4. MAS submits the nominee application materials to OGE.
5. OGE selects the nominee that they would like to grant the fellowship to, or that they would like to move forward with nominating.
Below is a list of OGE administered fellowships:
MIT Administered Fellowships
The MIT administered fellowships follow a process similar to the OGE fellowships. However, these fellowships are coordinated by departments throughout MIT. Similar to OGE fellowships, nominees will be selected by MAS, and MAS will submit the nominee's materials to the appropriate department. Below is a list of MIT administered fellowships:
