National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship Program is a fellowship from the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) that funds U.S. citizens at or near the beginning of their graduate studies in science and engineering disciplines relevant to Department of Defense priorities.
Established by Congress in 1989, the NDSEG Fellowship aims to increase the number of U.S. citizens earning doctoral degrees in science and engineering to strengthen national defense capabilities. Fellows receive approximately $30,000 per year in stipend support. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens pursuing doctoral degrees at the start of their graduate careers in DoD-relevant science and engineering fields.
The program covers tuition and fees at the awardee's institution and includes support from branches of the Department of Defense including the U.S. Space Force.

RET Sites close October 14, 2026 — about nine awards from $5.8 million, capped at $600,000 over three years, with a PI eligibility rule that disqualifies most of the people who write outreach proposals. RET Supplements reach the same money for $15,000 a teacher and are not a competition.
Read articleNSF 26-514, 26-515 and 26-518 put $310 million and up to 850 awards on rolling submission with zero per-PI limits, while chemistry rations two proposals a year and materials rations one. The Engineering directorate ran this experiment eight years ago. When NSF tried it in Earth Sciences, proposal volume fell 59 percent. Here is what that history predicts, and how to use a directorate that is not counting your submissions.
Read articleNSF 26-524 commits $30 million over FY2027 and FY2028 to wave-based computing — up to $2 million for four-year multidisciplinary awards, $100,000 to $400,000 for two-year exploratory ones. Eleven of the twelve August NOFOs consolidated existing programs. This one funds something NSF has never funded. Here are the three required thrusts, the tenure-track restriction, the one-proposal-per-person rule, and the spin-wave exclusion that disqualifies an entire subfield.
