How to get a full ride scholarship for graduate school?
Transcript
Here's how I got a full ride scholarship for the best school in the entire world. I applied for the GEM fellowship which basically gives you a full tuition scholarship for your master's or PhD program. The requirements for the GEM fellowship are so simple. You're gonna wonder why you didn't apply earlier. The number one requirement is this is not for foreign students. This is for US citizens or permanent residents. You must be applying for a master's or PhD program in STEM, science, technology, engineering, or math. And that's it. You must apply to three graduate programs. That's basically the only requirement. Apply to three different graduate programs that accept the GEM fellowship. Keep in mind, three is a minimum. You can apply to as many as you want. If confirmed as a GEM fellow, you will be expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times. The following internship criteria must be followed to assure you work as a summer employer for the Summer(s). While on assignment for sponsoring employer, you're expected to practice employer's ethical code, and/or standards, and avoid any misconduct that you're recommended regarding employer when you begin your internship. Your performance as an intern will be measured by your employer. GEM MS Engineering Fellows receive a stipend, which may be supplemented by the GEM Member University. The funding for the MS award is for up to four semesters or up to six. The funding for the PhD program is up to the entire program. One year is sponsored by the National Office (via GEM Employer) and the remaining years of the PhD program (up to the fifth year), GEM fellows are funded at the same level of other funded doctorate students in the department. GEM fellows may be expected to accept a teaching or research assistantship. GEM Universities may place additional requirements on GEM fellows, such as requiring that GEM fellows obtain in-state residency. GEM fellows must check with individual GEM Member University representatives to determine if additional requirements exist at that university. MS Engineering Fellowship Program $16,000 total stipend over the entire term of the GEM Member University. Full tuition and fees at GEM Member University. PhD Engineering/Science Fellowship Program
