With support from the Energy HPC & AI Conference, industry, and nominating departments, the Ken Kennedy Institute has awarded over $2 million to 223 graduate students since 2001. In total, the Energy HPC & AI Conference funded 93 of those students for nearly $700,000.

Recruiting Fellowships  

The Energy High Performance Computing Conference, jointly funded by the nominating department, has led to 65 four-year recruiting fellowships totaling $935,000 since 2014. These recruiting fellowships support the recruitment of outstanding graduate students to select departments in the George R. Brown School of Engineering and the Wiess School of Natural Sciences at Rice University in the fields of high performance computing, computational science & engineering, and data science, with special consideration given to students with research interests in areas of relevance to the energy industry.
