>  SCOPE:  The DoD annually supports approximately 8,000 graduate 
> students in fields
>  important to national defense needs.   First and foremost is the 
> support of thousands
>  of graduate students who are members of research teams funded through 
> DoD contracts
>  and grants. The students, selected by the research faculty, engage in 
> fundamental
>  studies under the leadership of a senior researcher and 
> commensurately earn advanced
>  degrees. Usually, these students are supported wholly by the DoD 
> grant or contract.
>  Another mechanism for graduate student support is through portable 
> fellowships, such
>  as those awarded to U.S. citizens or nationals following a 
> competition each year
>  under the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate 
> Fellowship Program. The
>  actual number of awards varies from year to year depending upon the 
> available
>  funding. Two hundred eighty five Fellowships were awarded in 2001, 
> 170 in 2002, and
>  116 in 2003. They are awards conferring high honors upon the 
> recipients. These
>  fellowships are portable and allow the recipients to pursue their 
> graduate studies at
>  whichever university they choose to attend.
>
>  The URL  describes the National Defense Science and Engineering 
> Graduate Fellowship
>  Program. This program seeks to identify individuals whose scientific 
> and engineering
>  credentials will support study through doctoral degrees. The 
> prevailing goal is to
>  provide the United States with talented, doctorally trained American 
> men and women
>  who will lead state of the art research projects in disciplines 
> having the greatest
>  payoff to national defense requirements. This program is highly 
> competitive.   See
>  URL for further details and application guidelines.
>
>  In my former career in the DOD, I have evaluated many NDSEG 
> Fellowship requests.
>  This is a very prestigeous fellowship and I urge careful preparation. 
>  Please see me
>  if you intend to compete for this award.
