FAQ

Only Citizens and Permanent Residents of the United States are eligible to receive NSF IGERT Fellowships. However, those students hailing from overseas, or those who simply did not receive a fellowship, are still welcome to participate in IGERT program activities by becoming "Associates."

IGERT Associates research fellowships include a stipend to support interdisciplinary research in an area related to Interactive Digital Multimedia during the months of July - October. Associates will join a team of Trainees, adding thier own interdisciplinary spin to a collaborative project.

To become and IGERT IGERT Associate you must be pursuing a PhD (or MFA if Art Studio) and must be returning to UCSB for at least a year after their supported summer. Interested applicants should consult with current IGERT trainees and faculty and seek a recommendation. The best way to do this is to attend the weekly seminar series. Both international and domestic students are eligible to apply.

As an IGERT associate, a student can benefit from many of the program's perks (internships, interdisciplinary advising, etc.). Associates are just as much a part of the team as Trainees, and will be looked to for research collaborations and other IGERT related responsibilities in the future.
