GSS Competition and Ghia Scholar Requirements
The ASME Fluids Engineering Division (FED) Graduate Student Scholar Committee (GSSC) constitutes one of the recognition and honor arms of the Division. Every year, the Committee announces the FED Graduate Scholarship Program and receives many applications from growing pools of applicants. The award certificate recognizes each student's technical accomplishments in the field of fluids engineering and provides a scholarship bestowed to the scholarship winners, allowing them to actively participate in the upcoming FEDSM to present their papers. The students are further assigned to one of the FED Technical Committees (TCs) for one year to benefit from the young professional program that the FED has created for the graduate student scholars and young engineers, including professional mentorship, help with preparing their award winning papers for submission to ASME Journal of Fluids Engineering (JFE), engagement in a variety of responsibilities within the FED such as reviewer roles, chairing sessions, and organizing symposia, and student ambassador duties to be carried out at their home institution.
The Ghia Scholar is a part of the Graduate Student Scholar Program that recognizes students that meet the Ghia Scholar criteria.
To submit for GSS consideration, follow the standard abstract submissions process selecting a track and topic before using the GSS section on the same page to select a competition.
Requirements to be considered for Ghia Award include:
- Be a current graduate student or a recently graduated graduate student (graduation within 2 years of conference) who is an international graduate student studying in the USA (non-U.S. citizens; non-US permanent residents)
- Submit an abstract to the desired GSS track of the appropriate FED Conference with a focus on an innovative approach to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) that leads to a greater understanding of the flow physics for a problem related to fluid dynamics.
- Submit a technical paper on the topic as first author.
- Note: Preference is given to ASME members, but ASME membership is not required.
Each GSSC student applicant will be asked to certify that they meet the Ghia Scholar Criteria at the time of abstract submission.
A total of 2 GSS students and 1 Ghia scholar will be selected for FED2025.
After your abstract is approved you will submit your technical paper with the scholar applicant as the first author.
