Graduate School Academic Excellence Award (GAEA)

The Graduate School Academic Excellence Award (GAEA)  is a new collaboration between the Graduate School and Financial Aid to incentivize and reward our top Michigan Tech undergraduate students to pursue an accelerated master’s degree. The GAEA program replaces the Graduate Tuition Grant (GTG) program of previous years. Nominated students will receive a one-time tuition award for their first semester as an accelerated master's student.

For students to be eligible for the Graduate School Academic Excellence Award, they must:

  • Be a first-time accelerated master’s student for the semester of the award
  • Be enrolled as a full-time on-campus student (online students are not eligible)
  • Not be receiving funding from another source at Michigan Tech for their first semester of enrollment ( e.g. assistantships, fellowships, or tuition support)

Individual Development Plan (IDP)

The IDP is a tool to help identify student goals, opportunities, and potential hurdles and discuss these with an advisor or mentor.

Mentoring Guidance

The National Academic Press published an article on Being a Mentor to Students in Science and Engineering.
