Scholarships, Fellowships, and Assistantships

The Electrical Engineering Department has a number of teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and two scholarships that support graduate students in electrical engineering.

Prospective students are encouraged to apply for one or more of these assistantships. In recognition of the role of UNR as a land grant university serving the state of Nevada, priority will be given to qualified Nevada residents: Research assistantships will be advertised together with the name of a designated contact person or sponsor, as they become available.

The following is a list of the scholarships and assistantships and the required qualifications:
