GAANN is the acronym for Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need. It is a fellowship program funded by the U.S. Department of Education through individual graduate programs.
The GAANN program provides fellowships to graduate students with excellent records who demonstrate a financial need. GAANN fellows must be U.S. citizens who are planning to pursue the highest degree available in a field designated as an area of national need. These areas include Biology, Chemistry, Computer and Information Science, Engineering, Geological Science, Mathematics, and Physics. The program aims to increase the number and diversity of U.S. citizens in these fields.
GAANN Fellowships at Dartmouth are granted to selected incoming students for their first year of study. Awards may be up to $27,000, plus full tuition and health insurance. Additional funding is available for professional travel. For the second through fifth years of study, all students will be supported by Dartmouth Fellowships, which provide full tuition and a living stipend of $19,020 for the 2004-05 academic year. The department also provides travel funds for Dartmouth Fellows.
All U.S. citizens who apply to Dartmouth's graduate program in mathematics will automatically be considered for GAANN fellowships; no special application form is required. Minorities and women are especially encouraged to apply.
