NDSEG Fellowships have the aim to financially support, thus encourage young baccalaureate recipients to enter graduate school and ultimately gain doctorates in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields.
They have noticed the importance of providing help with the payment of educational expenses.
Full Description
