What is the Relationship of the IEEE-USA Congressional Fellowship Program and the AAAS Science & Technology Fellowship Program?
In addition to supporting its own Fellowships, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) hosts an umbrella congressional science and engineering fellowship program as a collaboration of approximately 25-30 professional scientific and engineering societies. The program includes a two-week Fellowship orientation as well as opportunities for networking and educational meetings throughout the Fellowship year. Because of the way the two programs are publicized, applicants and Fellows are often confused about the distinctions. To clarify, IEEE-USA awards and supports IEEE-USA Congressional Fellowships. IEEE-USA has different selection criteria than the AAAS Fellowships (including a requirement that the applicant must be an IEEE member in good standing), and an applicant must apply for the IEEE-USA Fellowship separately from the AAAS Fellowship programs.
