by Lee, Linda S 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

If you get an email that simply says "Your document' and then has a zip file attached - DELETE it. The original spam email appeared to come from the Grad School Programs, but may be then sending similar emails out to people in your contact list since now I am getting them form all kinds of people - all with what appear to be purdue.edu email addresses. I emailed all of you so you wouldn't think I was sending you some app information and then open it. Don't - delete them. Linda S.

First round of evaluations for selection of recruitment fellowships will begin February 18, 2014 Fellowship Nominations for funding ESE accepted applicants (or those currently under review with complete or nearly complete applications) should include: * A brief letter of nomination from the potential advisor (<1 page) that includes a general statement indicating how you plan to support the student for three (3+1) or two (2+2)* additional years if for a fellowship, which can include other fellowships, research assistantships, teaching assistantships, or a combination thereof.

We plan to target domestic diversity this year. * 12-months of a Bilsland Dissertation Fellowship (for Purdue students who will be in the writing stage of their dissertation for the 2015-2016 academic year which must be administered as fall and spring semester awards (not summer only) or as a one-year award ($18,212 contribution to stipend and insurance assuming administered as a fellowship) so we could give partial to 2 students within these guidelines) A few notes: * All the above have tuition waivers. * Most of you are familiar with how recruitment fellowships work at Purdue - the offer to the student is as a 4-year package; however, only the first (for the 1+3) or the first two years (2+2) are actually contributed to by the Grad School as part of the fellowship. The rest of the fellowship 'term' (4 total years) and supplements for the first 1 or 2 years (the minimum stipend provided by the GS is not competitive) must be provided by other sources. Essentially for each year that is actually paid for by the Grad School (so the first year for the 1+3 and the first 2 years of the 2+2) in addition to the standard fee waivers. * If your nomination is selected for award, you can choose to use grant or TA funds for the first year and the fellowship for year 2, etc., which can work well if you have grant or start-up money that will expire over the next year or so if not used.. * Fellowships or assistantships can be supplemented. No stipend can fall below the grad school minimum of $16,714/y If you supplement there may be a difference between administering as a fellowship versus an assistantship in some colleges (e.g., when administered as an assistantship and given a supplement from a grant to meet your college's minimum stipend, your college may choose to charge you a similarly weighted portion of the tuition costs). This may not be the case anymore, but in the past there seem to be some confusion in this area.
