Master’s Students

Internal to the University (e.g., department/program, College of Engineering, Rackham Graduate School and University of Michigan campus) as well as external (e.g., national labs, corporations, organizations, etc.)

Please note: Students are encouraged to consult Innovation Partnerships prior to beginning a fellowship opportunity if they will be developing any innovations created through their paid research work at UM.

College of Engineering Funding for Master’s Students

Check with your department or program to learn more about any fellowships, GSI positions or GSRA positions open to master’s students. The College of Engineering has a limited number of fellowships for the Bridge to Doctorate Program which provides two terms of funding for the first academic year (i.e. tuition, living stipend, health insurance and fees). Admitted master’s students (U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents) are automatically considered for this award based on the information in their official admission applications.
