Graduate Research Fellowships
The Mike Loya Graduate Research Fellows Program is designed to benefit students pursuing a graduate degree at the College of Engineering or the College of Business Administration.
The fellowship allows students to form a close-knit academic group that focuses on applied research in entrepreneurship and innovation.
