Graduate Engineering for Minorities (GEM)

Fermilab participates in the Graduate Education for Minorities (GEM) program open to minority students (American Indians, African Americans, Mexican Americans and Puerto Rican Citizens) enrolled in their junior or senior year in an engineering discipline. The ability and commitment to pursue graduate studies are required. The GEM Consortium, through participating employers’ fees, provides financial support to the student while he or she is in graduate school. Typically, a student is employed at Fermilab for two to three summers.
