Pathway to PhD

Introduction

Are you interested in pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in science and
engineering? If yes, the IoT4Ag ERC Pathway to PhD Program (PPP) may be for you.
This workshop will walk you through applying to graduate-level PhD programs in the
United States. It will provide information about funding opportunities and help you
develop your own application materials.

Program at-a-Glance

IoT4Ag offers this resource to undergraduate and master’s students who wish to (1) learn about the graduate school admission process to US-based PhD programs, including factors that contribute to a strong application, (2) gain an understanding of the components of fellowship opportunities like the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program, and (3) write a personal statement and research plan for these opportunities under the guidance of a PPP mentor.

Audience

  • Third and fourth year undergraduate and master’s students interested in pursuing
    a science or engineering PhD program.
  • Participants in degree programs or who have earned degrees in engineering, agricultural science, or a related discipline.
  • Participants who are interested in IoT technologies in agricultural settings.
