Prospective graduate students are encouraged to attend to learn more about our departments, faculty, graduate student research, admissions, funding and life at the University of Michigan. Also feel free to assist our effort by forwarding this email along to other engineering students and student societies, including SHPE, NSBE, AISES, SWE, etc.
  • A short online application process is involved for travel grant consideration. Junior level students will have the highest level of priority. Applicants must reside within the United States. Students should be within 1-2 years of attending graduate school and have a strong interest in research. Those who are invited to attend this fall program will have all their expenses paid.
