The Hagler Institute for Advanced Study is proud to continue the Chancellor’s National Academy STEM Ph.D. Fellowship Program (Chancellor’s Fellowship) for outstanding doctoral students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Funded by the Chancellor of The Texas A&M University System, this program aims to attract the nation’s top students to Texas A&M University each year and pair them with both a member of a national academy and a rising star faculty member. Collaboration among students, national academy members, and rising star faculty is a signature component of the program. The national academy member may serve as the student’s chair, co-chair, or committee member.
For purposes of the Chancellor’s Fellowship program, the national academies are defined as follows:
- American Academy of Arts and Sciences
- National Academy of Engineering
- National Academy of Medicine
