I did not receive any Chappelle Fellowship nominations.
If you have any last-minute applicants that meet the criteria, please let me know. Our nomination is due to the College by January 21st.
Chappelle Fellowship: The Charles C. Chappelle Fellowship is for the recruitment of students with undergraduate degrees from Purdue for the furtherance of PhD research
at Purdue University, each fellowship provides a one-year award package, including a salary, tuition payment, and medical insurance benefits. Recipients are selected based on character, intellectual ability, and promise of degree attainment. $28,000 is allocated
from OGSPS, so this fellowship would need to be supplemented up to the CCE rate. Faculty can choose to cover the student fees with discretionary or gift funds. International students are eligible.

Subject: Knox and Chappelle Fellowship Nominations
Hello CCE Faculty,
There have been some updates to the Knox and Chappelle Fellowships for 2026-27.
We can make one nomination to the College for each of the fellowships – then those nominations will be reviewed/ranked at the College level and only the top two Engineering nominations will be submitted to
OGSPS for consideration.
We will accept one nomination from each area within CCE for each of these two fellowships. Specific information for each is below:
