Overview
During the academic year, selected fellows study at their universities and carry out research under the supervision of an academic mentor and in consultation with ETS research scientists and psychometricians. During the summer, fellows are invited to participate in the Summer Internship Program for Graduate Students, working under the guidance of an ETS researcher.
Program Goals
The goal of this program is to increase the number of well-trained scientists in educational measurement, psychometrics and statistics.
Award Duration
Appointments are for one year.
Award Value
Each fellow's university receives the following:
•$15,000 to pay a stipend to the fellow
•$7,500 to defray the fellow's tuition, fees and work-study program commitments
•A small grant for the purchase of equipment or software if needed to facilitate work on the fellow's research project (grant must be requested by the university)
Each fellow who also participates in the Summer Internship Program for Graduate Students receives the following:
•$5,000 stipend
•Up to $1,000 round-trip travel reimbursement from the intern's university to Princeton
•$1,500 housing allowance for interns residing outside a 50-mile radius of ETS’s facilities
Eligibility
At the time of application, candidates must be enrolled in a doctoral program, have completed all the coursework toward the PhD, and be at the dissertation stage of their program. Dissertation topics in the areas of psychometrics, statistics, educational/psychological measurement, or quantitative methods will be given priority.
Selection
Selection is based on:
•Strength of the applicant's academic credentials. Applicants need to demonstrate superior academic ability and achievement as well as exceptional promise in the field of measurement, psychometrics or statistics.
•Suitability and the technical strength of the proposed research project. The project must relate to research currently under way at ETS. The preferred arrangement is that the proposed project be the applicant's Doctoral thesis. Non-dissertation projects may be considered provided that the applicant:
◦is doing significant independent work,
◦is not receiving alternative funding for this work, or
◦is able to provide disclosure and consent authorization from the applicant's advisor and funding source, if funding is being received.
