The professional development portion of the program is open to current or future PhD students at any PhD granting institution. FFAR Fellows will be co-sponsored by industry (or other non-federal funding source) and FFAR.

New this year: The 2020-2023 FFAR Fellows Program includes two scholarships to support Professional Development Fellows. See the description of the Professional Development Fellows on the application page. Students applying for the scholarship are exempt from the requirement to have an industry sponsor, but should have--or be willing to be matched to--an industry mentor for if the student is selected as a Fellow. Scholarships will be awarded to those students who enhance the diversity of the cohort. In this case, diversity is defined as underrepresented groups and underrepresented research subject matter. Students should address their contribution to the diversity of the cohort in their Statements of Interest.
