XSEDE Scholars Application Process Now Open
Application Deadline – April 1, 2013
The XSEDE Scholars Program is a yearlong program for U.S. students from underrepresented groups in computational sciences. The program provides opportunities to learn more about high performance computing and XSEDE resources, network with cutting-edge researchers and leaders, and belong to a cohort of student peers to establish a community of academic leaders. XSEDE 2013-14 Scholars will receive a travel grant to attend the XSEDE13 conference in San Diego, July 22-25, 2013 and will participate in at least six online technical training and mentoring webinars with other scholars throughout the year. Underrepresented minority undergraduate or graduate students, studying at research institutions, who are interested in the computational sciences, are especially encouraged to apply. The online application is located at Bit.ly/xsedescholars.
The e-Mentoring Network in the Mathematical Sciences Blog
The e-Mentoring Network in the Mathematical Sciences Blog is designed to address relevant questions that students, postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty may have regarding their own advancement in mathematics. Topics can be: considering graduate school, choosing a graduate program, leveraging REU work experience during the academic year, the benefits of a professional society for graduate students, how to measure a successful post-doc position, preparing for tenure review, and much more.

Calling All Graduate Students- Innovation in Graduate Education Challenge
Submission Deadline – April 15, 2013
Our world is changing faster than ever before--technology is developing at an unprecedented rate and the world faces extraordinary challenges with solutions based in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). What is needed to prepare STEM graduate students to meet these modern day challenges? Fundamental changes are also occurring in the career options for STEM professionals. What is necessary to navigate the career pathways of the future? The Division of Graduate Education at the National Science Foundation challenges STEM graduate students across the nation to submit innovative ideas to prepare them for tomorrow’s opportunities and challenges. Entries are solicited for ideas with the potential to improve graduate education and professional development. Ideas can be directed toward, for example, students, faculty, departments, institutions, professional societies, and/or federal agencies. Make your voice heard on STEM graduate education!
