> 1. Blue Waters Student Internship Program Now Accepting Applicants
>  
> The Blue Waters Student Internship Program is actively seeking faculty and students to participate in year-long student internship opportunities. Students in the program will gain experiences involving the application of high-performance computing to problems in science, mathematics or engineering.  The program provides a student stipend for undergraduate participants totaling $5000, and a two-week intensive Petascale Institute in 2015 along with travel to the Blue Waters Symposium 2016 for undergraduate and a select number of graduate students.
> 
> NOTEs:  BWSIP  is not intended for students who are already expert and working extensively with parallel applications.  The goal is to promote students of exceptional promise to become expert so that they can work extensively with parallel applications!
> 
> Faculty: we are looking for good projects and mentors, so see the information, especially if you also have a student in mind who could work with you on such a project if they had the appropriate training and support. Make sure you indicate your preference for the student to work with you
> 
> This program provides support for internship activities at any accredited degree granting institution in the United States. Faculty who would like to mentor an undergraduate student can post descriptions of available positions. Positions can be intended for a particular applicant or opened to all qualified applicants. Undergraduate students should submit an application for consideration. Faculty can create Internship positions and students can start their application at: http://computationalscience.org/upep    Note: Graduate students are welcome to apply to attend the Petascale Institute; however they are responsible for arranging their own research advisor; any stipend would be the responsibility of the research advisor. Applications can be submitted at: http://computationalscience.org/upep/applications.

> 
> In collaboration with Blue Waters, Shodor and the National Computational Science Institute will provide support and content for the internship program and Petascale Institute.  Shodor, a national resource for computational science education, is located in Durham, NC, and serves students and educators nationwide.

> We are pleased to announce the opening of the application period for the Blue Waters Graduate Fellowship.  The fellowship is designed to support PhD students who are engaged in a program of study and research that is directly relevant to the use of the Blue Waters supercomputer.  Fellowship recipients will receive a stipend of $38,000 for the year-long fellowship and up to a $12,000 tuition allowance.
>  
> Fellowship applicants should be in the second or third year of their PhD program and engaged in research that can take advantage of the Blue Waters supercomputer.  Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or landed immigrants.  The application deadline is February 4, 2015.
