What is the GAANN Engineering Fellowship Program?
The School of Engineering has received thirteen U.S. Department of Education Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANNs) grants since 2009. These grants support fellowships for U.S. citizens as they pursue their doctoral degrees in fields deemed to be “areas of national need.”
The funding supports GAANN research/education in the following distinct areas (click on any for details):
