National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities 
in Engineering and Science, Inc. (GEM)

The mission of GEM is to enhance the value of the nations human 
capital in engineering and science by increasing the participation
of underrepresented minorities at the Master's and Ph.D. levels in
engineering and science. GEM addresses its mission by providing
graduate fellowships to underrepresented minority students through
the following:

M.S. Engineering Fellowship: The basic objective of the master's
    program is to increase the pool of minority M.S. engineering
    graduates. Each participant is provided with an engineering
    summer internship and an academic year fellowship of tuition,
    fees and a $6,000 stipend. The summer internship brings the 
    total value of the award to between $20,000 and $40,000.

Ph.D. Engineering Fellowship: Emphasis is placed on applicants who are
    interested in college teaching. A $12,000 stipend per calendar 
    year plus tuition and fees. The award is renewable for up to 
    four additional years. The summer internship brings the total value
    of the award to between $60,000 and $100,000.

Ph.D. Science Fellowship: The goal is to increase the number of 
    minority students who pursue doctoral degrees in the natural,
    physical and life sciences. Fellowships are portable to any 
    GEM participating university where the fellow is admitted. A 
    $12,000 stipend per calendar year plus tuition and fees. The
    award is renewable for up to four additional years. The summer
    internship brings the total value of the award to between 
    $60,000 and $100,000.
