ECE continues to be very fortunate to participate in the Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowship Program. With individual gifts and matching Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation funds, these fellowships attract the most talented students to our graduate program. Awards include a fellowship of $18,720, $1,500 flexible funds plus full tuition remission and health insurance at very little cost. ECE also guarantees additional years of support from faculty or the department. We have six distinguished fellowship recipients for 2003-04. Each fellowship recipient is mentored by a faculty advisor and all will perform research in a selected area. The ECE Distinguished Graduate Fellowships are provided by the following donors: John & Tashia Morgridge, Donald & Esther Procknow, Winslow Sargeant, Peter Schneider and Bruce Shand for the Claude and Dora Richardson Fund.
ECE receives funds for additional graduate fellowships from other generous donors as well. Fellowships and recipients follow: UW Graduate School Prize Fellowship — Sandeep Bala; UW Graduate School Fellowship — Jun Zhou; College of Engineering Grainger Fellowship — Tulaya Limpiti & John Canik; Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Frank Rogers Bacon Fund — Andrew Bolstad, Sam Koblenski, Brett Martin, Jill Pamperin, Deborah Fixel, Ayax Sevilla, Chad Stauss & John Thompson; Edward R. Felber Power Fund — Shashank Krishnamurthy & David Watts. To attract underrepresented students to our program, the college provides funds for the Graduate Engineering Research Scholars Program. ECE currently has two students receiving funds and mentorship from this GERS program — Eric Hill and Shuntel Williams.
Nationally, seven of our students competed to receive fellowships: National Institute of Health Fellowship — Essex Bond; National Science Foundation Fellowship — Jason Cantin, Allison Holloway, & Mariya Lazebnik; IBM PhD Fellowship — Harold Cain; Intel PhD Fellowship — Ashutosh Dhodapkar; and Intel Masters Fellowship — Jay Wierer.
