American Physical Society Bridge Program (APS)

Funding: Funding set by host institution, typically comparable to standard graduate stipends; some sites add supplemental support (e.g., a Google Bridge Fellowship worth $25,000/year for 2 years at CSU Long Beach). Who can apply: Students who have NOT yet received a PhD-program acceptance letter (post-bachelor's applicants for a bridge master's, or post-master's applicants for a bridge PhD slot) intending doctoral study in physics; must be US citizen, permanent resident, or DACA recipient. Field: STEM and Engineering. Applications close around 2027-03-20 (expected; confirm on the official site).
