Current Portfolio

  • The DOE CSGF logo.

    The Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship accepts doctoral students engaged in traditional, application-focused computational science research and those pursuing applied mathematics, statistics or computer science research enabling the use of emerging high-performance computing (HPC) systems without a specific application. Together, recipients meet the DOE's growing needs to build and efficiently operate the latest, most powerful HPC systems and apply those systems to problems of national importance.

    Krell Institute has managed the DOE CSGF since 1997, covering every detail from applicant recruitment to academic oversight. The program provides tuition, stipends and other benefits to doctoral students and guides them as they employ HPC for discovery in disparate disciplines. More than 700 fellows have studied at over 85 universities around the country and 140 fellows are presently enrolled. The Department of Energy’s Office of Science and the National Nuclear Security Administration fund the fellowship, which was established in 1991.

  • The DOE NNSA SSGF logo.

    The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowship provides excellent financial benefits and professional development opportunities to students pursuing a Ph.D. in fields of interest to stewardship science. The program works to ensure a continuous supply of highly trained scientists and engineers in areas of study related to high energy density physics, nuclear science, and materials under extreme conditions.

    Krell Institute has managed the DOE NNSA SSGF since the program’s 2006 founding, providing complete services from recruiting to stipend and tuition management to academic oversight. Twenty fellows currently attend universities across the United States. The program has nearly 90 alumni and is funded by the National Nuclear Security Administration.

  • The DOE NNSA LRGF logo.

    The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Laboratory Residency Graduate Fellowship's primary objective is to encourage the training of scientists by providing financial support to talented individuals whose study and research is accompanied by extended, practical work experience at one or more of four DOE NNSA facilities. Open to first-year graduate students and beyond, the program has onboarded nearly 40 fellows since its 2017 inception.

    The DOE NNSA LRGF provides excellent financial benefits and professional development opportunities to students pursuing a Ph.D. in fields of study that address complex science and engineering problems critical to stewardship science. A unique element of the program, DOE NNSA LRGF recipients complete a minimum of two 12-week residencies at DOE NNSA facilities.
