Fellowships and assistantships are
available in the Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering
Department at The University of Texas at Austin for qualified
M. S. and Ph. D. students. Stipends as large as $20,000 per
calendar year plus all required tuition and fees are available
to highly qualified students. Additional fellowships or
scholarships may also be given to a select few. Research
projects are available in the areas of:
- high performance computing
- reservoir characterization
- reservoir engineering
- reservoir simulation
- groundwater characterization and remediation
- groundwater modeling
- petrophysics
- well stimulation
- rock mechanics
- drilling
The process for obtaining financial aid from the department
is as follows:
-
One must first apply to the Petroleum and Geosystems
Engineering Department and indicate that financial
assistance is wanted.
-
Once admitted, the Graduate Studies Committee considers
departmental fellowships based solely on scholarly
achievements or other criteria such as country of origin.
This is an automatic process so please do not contact the
Graduate Studies Committee regarding possible fellowships.
The limited number of fellowships are typically only given
to applicants who filed early in the process. Ideally, an
applicant will be notified by March or April if he or she
has been awarded a fellowship.
-
Once admitted to the department, the application (and
any prior decisions on fellowships) is also automatically
forwarded to all faculty in the department. The faculty
will review each application to identify highly qualified
individuals that they may want to hire as research
assistants or as possible teaching assistants. Each
faculty member makes his or her own determinations based
on the candidate qualifications and his or her financial
resources and projects.
It is possible that an applicant may obtain a fellowship
and a research assistantship. In such cases, the fellowship is
generally added to the financial value of the research
assistantship.
Applicants with backgrounds in engineering, applied
mathematics and science or the geosciences are invited to
apply. For more information, contact:
