J. Waldo Smith Hydraulic Fellowship
Forecasted
Supports graduate students in civil engineering for hands-on experimental hydraulics research that advances understanding of hydraulic flow and addresses real-world engineering challenges.
Funder: American Society of Civil Engineers
Due Dates (Anticipated): January 2027 (Full application, online) | February 2027 (Complete application package received by ASCE Student Services; projected)
Funding Amounts: Up to $4,000 per award, plus up to $1,000 for research equipment (equipment funds go to institution).
Summary: Supports graduate students in civil engineering conducting experimental hydraulics research through practical, experiment-based projects.
Description
This fellowship supports graduate students in civil engineering who are engaged in experimental hydraulics research. The focus is on practical, experiment-based studies that advance the understanding of hydraulic flow, with an emphasis on testing and improving current fluid dynamics theories through hands-on experimentation rather than purely theoretical or mathematical work. The award encourages research that addresses real-world challenges and advances the field of hydraulic engineering.
