Just got a rejection email:
Thank you for your interest in and your application to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Computational Science Graduate Fellowship program. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a DOE CSGF fellowship. We received a large number of very highly qualified applications and we are able to fund only a small percentage of them. We were very impressed with your credentials and saw much promise in your application and we strongly encourage you to reapply next year provided you remain eligible.
We hope that you will continue to pursue academic and career goals in the area of computational science. If your research interests include the need for high end computing tools and resources, you may want to visit the SciDAC Outreach center, a clearinghouse for activities and resources associated with the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing program funded by the Department of Energy. You can find information about the SciDAC Outreach center here: https://outreach.scidac.gov/
Please note there will be a change in the eligibility requirements for the 2013 application. Only undergraduate seniors, graduate students who have not yet matriculated into a PhD program, and first year Ph.D. students will be eligible to apply for the 2013 DOE CSGF program; we will no longer accept applications from Ph.D. students in their second year at the time of application.
Again, we thank you for taking the time to apply to the program.
With best regards,
Mary Ann Leung, PhD
DOE CSGF Program Manager
