The Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) Fellowship Program provides fellowships, through the Civil Engineering Department, to assist graduate students with excellent records who demonstrate financial need and plan to pursue doctoral degrees in civil engineering in one of the relevant research areas.
The GAANN program at Washington University will provide to all fellows a stipend in the amount of the fellow's financial need not to exceed $30,000 in the 2007 fiscal year. Also provided is an institutional payment to cover the cost of the fellow's tuition.
